"This is The F***ing Main Event, Bro"

"He called me with ace-high, and now he's getting it in for 150 blinds. What the f*** is going on here?" asked Phil Hellmuth to his table.

The flop read {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and Hellmuth had 30,000 committed post-flop from the button. Alan Cutler was all in with a covering stack from the big blind, and Hellmuth was in the tank for his remaining 67,000 or so. After a little while, he folded.

"Want to see what I have?" asked Cutler.

"Sure," replied Hellmuth.

Cutler showed {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Hellmuth jumped out of his chair.

"Oh my f***ing god! Are you f***ing kidding me? This is the f***ing Main Event, bro," said an enraged Hellmuth, pounding his fist against a nearby wall.

"Its a win-win for me," said Cutler. "Either you bust me and I have a great story, or I bust you and have a great story."
