Well, That Didn't Go Very Well

Phil Hellmuth was just eliminated from today's $2,000 No-Limit Hold-Em event. And, well, it's wasn't a pretty hand. If you'll permit, let me post what the reporter on the scene wrote about it:

Partho "Spiderman" Data raised to 10,000 from middle position. "No trick, I have to raise it" said Phil Hellmuth as he made it 25,000 from the small blind. Spiderman called.

The flop was the 4d-3s-2s. Hellmuth turned to Spiderman and said "Did you flop a set on me?" before betting 15,000. Spiderman immediately moved all in and Hellmuth started into one of his classic rants.

"You go crazy with two fives? I haven't bet this much in this tournament in a single hand yet!" Hellmuth counted out his chips, shook his head and asked Spiderman "What do you have? Did you really go crazy? A-Q suited?"

At this point, the player in the 4 seat called the clock on Hellmuth. The Poker Brat predictably went into a tirade.

"How long have I taken? That's not right! Will you let me focus? You're abusing the clock, you'll get a 20 minute penalty if you do it again!"

Hellmuth finally called and showed his signature hand, the 9c-9s, while Spiderman turned over the Ac-Jc. The turn was a 5, making Spiderman's wheel. Hellmuth fell out of his chair and started rolling around on the ground.

"Yes! Yes!" shouted Spiderman. "That stone cold idiot tried to bluff me!" moaned Hellmuth as he hit the rail.

Phil practically called the hand, made the call...and lost out to the wheel draw. That, boys and girls, is pretty sick.
