"They've Canceled Your Room Phil"

Telling it as it is, or how he sees it
Telling it as it is, or how he sees it
I approach table Hellmuth and see him reraise all in from the big blind after the small blind had raised. It was another 8,000 for the small blind to call and after some talking to himself, he called.

Hellmuth tabled {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} and had his opponent's {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} dominated.

The board came {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {8-Hearts}. That should be enough to double Hellmuth up to 24,800 I think!

Joe Hachem came over and saw proceedings and said, "Phil, you can't win that. They've canceled your room!"

"That's what I've been waiting for and I have them dominated. That's the first time I've been all in today," responded Hellmuth.

"And you doubled up," came back the reply from Hachem.
