Hellmuth rage quits Live at the Bike
A memorable 48 hours for the Poker Brat and it was certainly two days he won't want to remember.
Once again Phil Hellmuth's ability in cash games has been called into question after two big losing sessions on live stream.
Last night he rage quit the special Valentines game at Live at the Bike which also saw the return of Robbi Jade Lew. He paid off a flush in a $280k pot with Pocket Kings and that was enough for him to pack up his chips and leave early.
It's worth sticking around until the end of the video to see Robbi's needle directed at Phil.

A tilt-induced reaction is nothing new for Hellmuth, but check out this hand from the previous evening on the Hustler stream.
In a multiway pot he called on an Ace high flop, lead the turn and called a 3-bet, then called a river bet with just king high, running into a set of Queens.
You be the judge.. Did @phil_hellmuth misread his hand? It's the only thing that made sense to me at the time. From @HCLPokerShow pic.twitter.com/4xkXPVCbNo

This has led most to speculate he misread his hand and thought he had an Ace, which Hellmuth appears to confirm:
I believe I had A-10, but if I didn’t, then “double whoops!” https://t.co/g6e3lIotej

It did lead to an all-time classic quote afterward from Hellmuth, "he fell for it, but he had a set".
Thoughts on the two hands? Let us know in the comments:
