Hellmuth in the Building and Already Getting Four-Bet

Phil Hellmuth has made his way into the tournament area -- finally -- and got involved here on this one. After Shannon Shorr opened with a raise from early position to 1,000, Hellmuth three-bet to 3,100. Play then folded to Matt Waxman in the small blind. He paused and then four-bet to 8,000. Everyone folded back to Hellmuth and he tanked for a little bit. In the end, the 11-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner decided to cut his losses and fold his hand.
