Hellmuth's Rant Turns to Crickets

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Just moments before the first break of the day, Phil Hellmuth was about to go on another tirade but quickly shut down when he made the best hand. Adam Brosius opened from the hijack and Hellmuth defended from the big blind. The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Hellmuth checked to Brosius who continued for 5,500. Hellmuth check-raised to 21,000 and Brosius called.

The {8-Spades} landed on the turn and Hellmuth checked again. Brosius moved all in for 41,000 and Hellmuth bounced out of his seat. "Did you really call twenty-one thousand with a flush draw?" Hellmuth pondered his decision for a moment and then made the call.

Brosius tabled {a-Spades}{q-Spades} and Hellmuth was about to lose his mind when he showed his {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. However, the dealer burned and turned the {5-Hearts} on the river to give Hellmuth quads. He quietly sat back in his chair with his hand over his mouth as the pot was pushed his way.
