Phil Hellmuth Busted

The second day of the $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event has just got underway. The pot was opened with a raise to $10,000 by Partho ''Spiderman'' Data. Phil Hellmuth made it $25,000 to go from the small blind, and Spiderman made the call.

The flop hit...

Phil was first to act, and said to the player,''I got to tell you buddy, I think you flopped a set.''

Phil then bet out $15,000 to see where he was at. Perhaps it was the set talk, but Spiderman pushed all-in, putting Phil to a huge test. Phil thought for several minutes, saying, ''You didn't go crazy with Sevens or Eights here did you??''

A few minutes later a player called for a clock on Phil. Phil erupted, ''I haven't played an all-in pot in this tournament, nor have I taken a long time to act once! You're out of line calling the clock on me!''

Another player backed up Phil, explaining to the floorman that Phil hadn't taken long at all. The floorman denied to start the clock, and Phil was given as long as he needed. The player was livid, ''Oh he gets more time because of his name??''

The floorman responded, ''No, he gets more time, because this is a really big decision.''

Phil then went off on the player, ''How long have I taken?!?!''

''About two minutes,'' the player responded.

''Two minutes, a player that hasn't needed a clock before, and is making a decision for his tournament life should be given three and a half minutes!'' said Phil.

Phil asked the player to stop speaking several times, so he could get back to thinking. The player obliged, and Phil eventually made the call.

Phil showed...

Spiderman...

Phil said, ''You put in $90,000 on a stone cold bluff!?''

Before Phil had even finished saying that the turn fell...

Phil stood up fast flinging his chair onto the floor. Screaming,''WHY ME!? WHY ME?!??''

Spiderman ran around the room gloating,''I GOT HIM!!! I GOT HIM!!!''
