Watts Runs Up Hellmuth's Bill

Action was three-handed by the time we joined up on fourth street. This pot played out between Phil Hellmuth, Mike Watson, and a lady we're unfamiliar with.

Hellmuth: (x-x) / {6-Hearts} {A-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} / (x)
Lady: (x-x) / {5-Spades} {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} / (x)
Watts: (x-x) / {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} / (x)

Watson bet fourth street and found two calls, and the lady bet her lead on fifth. Call-call. She fired another bullet on sixth street, but this time Watts made the raise to 1,200. Hellmuth cold-called, and the lady called the extra bet to see the last down card. She couldn't call Watts' final bet, but Hellmuth did so quickly.

Watts: {2-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} / {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Hellmuth: .................

Hellmuth mumbled through Watts hand out loud. "What is that? A flush... and a low?"

Cue the scowl.

"I've got a straight and a low..." Hellmuth continued slowly, staring down forlornly at his cards. It would be another thirty seconds or so before he shoved his cards back to the dealer and began cursing the universe.

It was all very amusing for Scott Seiver who was sitting in the seven seat and watching this all play out.
