You Can Dodge Bullets, Baby

"Mikey, Mikey!" Hellmuth yelled as he walked away from his table and over to Mike "The Mouth" Matusow's.

"You know those queens you told me I should play? I just folded 'em."
"Oh yeah?" Matusow asked.
"Yeah, the guy had aces! What do you think of that, I lay down queens to his aces!"
"What do I know, Phil. You can dodge bullets, baby!"


That was the conversation heard after Phil Hellmuth had an interesting situation at his table. A player made it 3,000 to go preflop and another player was debating the call. After asking how many chips the original bettor had, Phil announced that he was still in the hand also.

"I'm all in, Mr. Hellmuth. I'm in awe. I may never have the chance again to play with the man who has the most bracelets. Don't lay it down, Phil."

After much thinking, Phil laid down his pocket queens. The original bettor called and showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} while the man who wanted Phil to call showed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.
