Hellmuth Doesn't "Take the Next One"

Level 23
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Phil Hellmuth: 3?2? / A?2?9?5? / 9?
Matthew Schultz: A?8?K?9? / 7?5?4?

Phil Hellmuth bet a favourable board against Matthew Schultz, who called from fifth and sixth street once Hellmuth had declared twice "'l'll take this one, you take the next one". He had 2,000 behind for seventh street and Schultz also called that, too. As the cards were eventually exposed, Hellmuth was certain to scoop as he revealed nines up with a nine-five low.

However, the other players at the table pointed out the superior eight-seven low of Schultz to win the low portion of the pot which left Hellmuth rather upset. He once more mentioned to be on tilt and then got it in soon after in the same variant against Nacho Barbero.

Phil Hellmuth: 6?6? / 4?5?8?8? / A?
Nacho Barbero: Q?5?3? / 5?Q?4?9?

Again, Hellmuth was the aggressor and all-in after seventh street once more. Barbero showed his queens up and now Hellmuth had to squeeze the final card. "I have sixes in the hole," he revealed and showed those cards first.

Slowly peeling the last card, Hellmuth spiked an ace to survive with the superior eight-six low.
