No Reversal of Fortune
Thursday, October 8, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
Some days you live by the Aces, some days you die by the Aces. The latter held true for Phil Hellmuth as, after failing to nearly triple-up holding pocket rockets, he busted about 30 minutes later when he ran the Ace-King of hearts into John Venturini’s Aces. Venturini was in that big hand with Phil with Hellmuth holding Aces and Venturini Big Slick, and after a Qh-4s-5d flop the turn came the 6h to give Phil the nut flush draw and a prayer of surviving and doubling up.
But the river brought the Qc and ended Phil’s run. And there was no explosion, Phil shook everyone’s hand and headed for the door, no doubt wondering what might’ve been had that one big hand gone his way.
