Phil Hellmuth completed the blind and saw Adrian Mateos set him all in for about 900,000.

"I looked at a king and limped," Hellmuth said after checking his cards. "I thought I was going to look at another king and snap you off."

"Never happen," Mateos said.

"You've won like 40 hands, I've won like six," Hellmuth responded. "You don't think my little range beats your big range?

"You're like Carlos Mortensen. I always beat Carlos. He finally learned to respect me. I think I'll trap you and you'll learn, too."

Hellmuth let his hand go and Mateos showed the {k-Clubs}.

The next hand, Hellmuth opened from the button for 120,000. Mateos put in 400,000. Hellmuth shoved all in after about a minute of thought and Mateos snap-called with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Hellmuth showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

The {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades} hit the board and Hellmuth moved to exit. The river was a {2-Clubs}.

Hellmuth expressed his disbelief at how Mateos was running and said it simply wasn't fair.
