Hellmuth Falling Fast
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Phil Hellmuth limped from early position (the third-consecutive hand in which he was seen limping in), the player in the cutoff raised to 4,200, and Hellmuth called.
They checked to the turn of a 
board, where Hellmuth bet 4,000. His opponent called. The 
river completed the board, Hellmuth bet 5,300, and his opponent called.
Hellmuth showed 
for sevens and deuces, but his opponent tabled 
for eights and deuces to win the pot.
"That seems fair," muttered Hellmuth.
