People keep talking about the hand that busted helmuth, and how terrible a play and lucky it was....does anyone have the exact hand information and what happened?

I watched this happen and it wasnt the bad call pple are reporting ,it went like this(appx chip amounts)Robert made raise,Hellmuth 17k more, then Robert moved all in for 101k and Hellmuth called immediately.So really it was a big move from Robert (not a call at all).Flop came AQ10 and no help for Hellmuth,this hand crippled him,hope this helps clear it up.

Thanks....so did this cripple hellmuth or put him out all together...and how many chips did hellmuth have at this point......no offense, but with that huge a reraise i would have possibly folded AK.

This left Hellmuth with about 25k after losing this pot of about 230k,Hellmuth called instantly and said "i knew i was in front",so he was unlucky AK vs Q10 Suited,when he reraised the first 17k he said to Robert "go on call it or go on put it in"something like that so he got what he wanted,he just got unlucky.

almost wonder if his trashtalking made him call him, so as to not be shown up in front of everyone.


Somehow, i find this somewhat appeasing
