did you guys see this story? let me see if I can describe.
======
3 players in on the flop.
In order of action:
Guy A: two diamonds, king high
Hellmuth: Pair of 7's
Guy B: two diamonds, ace high
=====
Flop comes two diamonds and an over card to Hellmuth's pair
Betting goes:
Guy A bets, Hellmuth calls, Guy B shoves
Almost immediately after the shove Hellmuth goes into one of his normal tirades that always indicate he is going to fold since he was basically screaming how weak his hand was. Problem was Guy A had not yet bet.
=====
The controversy was that with a player still to act, Guy A normally would have folded but with Hellmuth all but mucking his hand with his petulance, Guy A decided to call.
Hellmuth folds, Guy A sucks out sending Guy B home.
======
Many pros saw what happened and called for Hellmuth to be penalized but nothing transpired.
Later Guy B called out Hellmuth on twitter and politely asked him to remain quiet next time.
Hellmuth, while claiming he did nothing wrong, at least did offer to buy Guy's B entrance into next years main event.
