Hellmuth Erupts (WPT Coverage)

[Kevmath]

From www.wptinsider.com:

Phil Hellmuth was the author of the "tirade of the day". With blinds at 3000-6000, Charlie Hiatt (no relation to Shana) raised to 15000 from early position. Hellmuth re-raised from the cutoff to 80000. Hiatt pushed 156000 all-in and Hellmuth called instantly with Kh Kd while Hiatt turned over Ad Jd. Hellmuth made a set on a flop of Js Kc Qd, but Hiatt sucked out Td on the turn to make the Broadway straight and improved to the nut flush with 8d on the river. Hellmuth called Hiatt "the worst player he has ever seen".

Pretty bad call by Hiatt, worse was the poor display of sportsmanship by Phil H ... The tilt factor seems to be a serious flaw in his game

When just under 2 million is on the line, and you get sucked out pretty badly I'd be upset also. Can't say I blame him.

[wjmooner]

maybe not the worst player, but that's just a bad push. Best case scenario is racing against TT or 99. Easy laydown there. Poor Phil, lol.

Can you really blame the guy? I would like to see anyone on here get your set of KK sucked out by a gutshot on the turn and not get pissed off. We've all done the same thing when someone moves in with something like 2nd button and turns a set.

Id be pissed. The worst beats are when AK AQ AJ calls your all in (especially when you hold KK) knowing they were gonna be doggs perhaps huge ones. The second worst ones are when you flop a set and move in killing pot odds for a flush only to be called anyway and sucked out on. Thats just IMHO. Basically its because the caller knows he is gonna be a dog but still takes a shot just to be macho or something. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I've actually sat in games where people call my all-ins with draws, catch and then berate me for my play.

Im big ...Id just slap them....POWDER!!!!

considering the most I've won from a tourney is about 12% of the buyin here, I've never been in any situations like this, but my guess is I'd prob let off a nice string of fbombs

how much did 41st payout, can't be too much more than the 15k entry, so Phil prob lost a large amount of money to a bad player sucking out on him .. he should be pissed

Anyone understand the size of Phil's reraise? It seems awfully excessive, no? Maybe these were just the standard raise and reraise amounts.
