Hell for He11muth

He11muth, holding it in

Phil He11muth, who strode in only recently, is already nearing the felt after taking his seat next to Humberto Brenes.

After seeing his stack bisected in half after his top pair lost to a straight on the river, He11muth then dropped down to less than 1,000 in chips when his {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} failed to improve against {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on a {J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} board.

Down, but not out, He11muth shook his head after those defeats, but refrained from any 'Poker Brat' rants that have made him such a renowned and highly entertaining personality within the poker community.
