Hellmuth instantly called and showed pocket kings for top set, but Busquet revealed pocket tens for the rivered straight. Hellmuth immediately began to rant, saying “Why do I feel like I’m on another planet? They play so bad. It’s just rediculous. What a beat. That’s the worst beat I’ve had in a long time. Terrible!”
Busquet moved up to 1.175 million and Hellmuth moved down to 600,000.
