Grasshopper Hits Miracle Runout Against Hellmuth
No-Limit Hold'Em
Action was picked up after the K?8?7? flop in a hand between Fu "Grasshopper" Wong from under the gun and Phil Hellmuth in the small blind.
The remainder of Grasshopper's 95,500 chips had found their way into the middle and Wong was at risk against Hellmuth.
Fu "Grasshopper" Wong: A?K? 
Phil Hellmuth: 8?8?
Hellmuth was way ahead with his set of eights against the top-top of Grasshopper. The K? came on the turn which gave Grasshopper some outs.
In miraculous fashion, the A? peeled off on the river, which gave Grasshopper a higher full house.
Hellmuth complimented his opponent following the hand as he declared, "Nice hand, sir."
However, the frustration eventually got to Hellmuth as he yelled, "Fuck!" which earned the attention of the entire Horseshoe Event Center.
"I think you handled it with absolute class," commented a tablemate.
