Hellmuthian Meltdown

Phil Hellmuth took a massive hit to both his stack and ego. The flop was {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Mark McCluskey moved all in for 22,000. Hellmuth called.

Hellmuth: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
McCluskey: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and the river was the {A-Diamonds}. McClusky doubled up and as the dealer pushed him the pot, Hellmuth stood up and erupted.

"Nice f-------g dealing in this place!" he shouted. "This is unf-----g believable. I got coolered twice in the last ten hands."

A new dealer coming in walked up to the table to push the dealer already there. Hellmuth spewed more venom.

"No, don't push her," he said. "Let her stay and deal one more cooler. This is f-----g place. I can't catch a break."

Hellmuth's stack slipped to around 5,000. He has slipped into the depths of megatilt and is still steaming a few minutes after that hand. You could almost see the smoke oozing out of his ears.
