Hellmuth Frustated Again

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 125,000 and was called by Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Both Bujtas and Hellmuth checked the {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop before Negreanu bet 350,000. Bujtas quickly folded.

"F***. I guess I was just supposed to pot it," Hellmuth said. "Come on Phil."

Hellmuth let another hand go and Negreanu raked in the pot.
