"We are going to lose Freddy Deeb" proclaimed tournament director Matt Savage after Phil Hellmuth nailed the nut flush on the turn, with Deeb all in. Deeb had two pair and made a full house on the river, forcing Savage to eat his words. The Casino Gambling Examiner (JSTAT) focused his camera on Hellmuth after the bad beat anticipating an angry rant from Hellmuth. Hellmuth acted like a true gentleman and a classy poker player, not the "Poker Brat" from the past. Deeb talks on the microphone and mocks Savage, a funny moment at the 2011 WPT Shooting Star held at Bay 101 Casino in San Jose, California.
Hellmuth would have lost his shit if he got Deebs money in on the turn, while he was a huge favorite. But he (phil) got his own money in bad on the flop, Just cause it went back and forth, doesn't make it a bad beat. It Woulda been a bad beat if Phil's turned flush had held up...
