Re: Hellmuth at main event
[ QUOTE ]
Hellmuth complains when someone gets lucky on him, but he says nothing when his A-J hits two pair to save him from being outkicked...if he was the one with A-Q he would have told the "donkey" to know preflop that he was dominated!

Blinds 150/300. Stolzmann raises to 1000 with AQo, Phil makes the call with AJs out of one of the blinds (couldn't tell which) and checks in the dark. Calling AJs against a raise out of position isn't completely textbook preflop play, but when you're an expert postflop player you get a little leeway.
Flop comes A65 two hearts. The pot is 2300ish. Phil has checked in the dark, Stolzmann bets 1250, Phil calls. Pretty standard I think from Phil. Stolzmann pushes for 5000 exactly and Hellmuth calls.
Phil got 2/3s of the money in with the best hand, he's cool in my books for that hand.
