Hellmuth Ranting

In the $1500 No Limit Hold'em event, Phil made it to the final three tables before getting his money in good, but losing a pot and a lot of his chips.

According to Pokernews Live Updates:

Phil Hellmuth was ranting about Max Steinberg who had just taken a pot from him with an ace-seven . The dealer quickly swept in the board so we weren't able to get the action, but Hellmuth was clearly frustrated. "It's a miracle you're still here," Hellmuth vented.
Not long after, Phil was eliminated in 15th place, ahead of 2,326 other players in his quest to extend his world leading count of 12 World Series of Poker bracelets.  Phil has hired a "Life Coach" to help him to deal better with these situations.

Note:  Max Steinberg finished second.  I am sure the $352,000 he took home will be salve to the bruising his ego took when Hellmuth was ranting about what a bad player he was.
