Hellmuth Loses His Chips and His Cool

With 90 players remaining in event 10, all of whom are in the money, players are anything less than patient, and tempers are everything but subdued. Phil Hellmuth was eliminated in 104th place, and his exit was all but graceful.

On a flop of 432, Phil Hellmuth gets put to a decision for all of his chips when Great “Spiderman” Partho moves all-in. Sami Rustom, also at Hellmuth’s table, decides to call “clock” on Phil after only a couple of minutes. This is about the point where Hellmuth begins to have a minor meltdown and starts by calling the floor over. Hellmuth tells Rustom, “I’ve been playing everyday straight for four or five days now and I have a decision for all of my chips.” Rustom explains that he feels that Phil is abusing the clock by taking a few minutes to make the call. Phil replies, “By calling the clock on me, you’re abusing the clock, and if you do it again, you’ll get a twenty minute penalty!” So the floor man gets involved and tells Rustom that Hellmuth still has three or four minutes to act before the clock will go in effect. Hellmuth dives back into the tank and ultimately makes the call. Hellmuth shows 99 and Spiderman flips over AJ for the bluff. Hellmuth loves his position until the 5 hits giving Spiderman the wheel, and this is where Hellmuth totally loses it. He screams and dives head-first out of his seat and onto the floor. He pounds the floor with his fists during his temper tantrum, and then stands up only to start taking digs at Spiderman. Phil proceeds to have a conversation with himself out loud and the phrases “mother f

“ and “idiot” seem to make several appearances. After Hellmuth tells Spiderman, “You played that hand like an idiot!”, Spiderman now loses his cool replying, “You’re the idiot, you bet all of your money on nines, and now you’re broke!” Well Phil may be busted, but he certainly isn’t broke and his 104th place finish today has earned him $3,901.

btw he talks about a player not allowed to call a clock after 2 minutes? WTF is that about?

mdwexford

if its a decision for your tournament and your not being consistently slow then you should be allowed far longer than 2mins before a clock is called imo
