Phil Hellmuth makes quickest All-in move Ever ... Phil Hellmuth who is notoriously bad at winning in cash games made a brief apperance on High Stakes Poker and swiftly blew $150,000 in the space of a few hands.



I'm really getting into watching High Stakes Poker on TV ... Basically it's an ongoing cash game open to the poker pro's who stump up a minimum $100,000 buy-in. Daniel Negreanu has suffered a bit of a beating and not recovered from losing a massive hand against Gus Hanson who made quad 5's against Daniel's Full 6's & 5's .. that's a tough beat which Negreanu handled with true professionalism, unlike Hellmuth who is in danger of blowing up in classic style. It was really entertaining to see Phil Hellmuth's patent high speed all-in call against Barry Greenstein ... Man I love to see Hellmuth suffer.
