Hellmuth Loses Loudly
Phil Hellmuth bet out on a flop and then called the raise from Martin Kabrhel. Hellmuth further bet out again on the turn and also on the river; Kabrhel called on both streets.
So, to showdown.
Hellmuth: for a pair pf kings, to drop him down to 5,600
Kabrhel: for a rivered pair of aces, to bump him up to 4,700
Hellmuth bit his lip for just the briefest of moments before letting his feelings show.
"HOW BAD ARE YOU?" he said to Kabrhel, loudly enough for most of the Amazon Room to hear.
"I'm sorry, I'm a beginner," lied Kabrhel, well-known on the European circuit as king of the EPT side events. "I'm just learning the game."
A few minutes later and a steaming Hellmuth open-folded aces to Kabrhel on a board to further reduce his stack.
