Dan Smith Bluffs Phil Hellmuth w/ Quad 7’s as Shaun Deeb Needles “Poker Brat”
Don’t get bluffed when your name is Phil Hellmuth and you’re at the same table as Shaun Deeb. He’ll take pleasure in it and laugh at your expense.
On Saturday, PokerNews‘ Liam Black captured the end of an entertaining hand at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) involving two legends of the game — Hellmuth and Dan Smith.
The video we’ll show you below took place on Day 2 in Event #72: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship during the third level of the session.
Rough Hand for the Poker Legend
Phil Hellmuth
Our camera began recording the hand in question as Hellmuth was folding his cards after facing a bet from Smith. The “Poker Brat,” as he sent his cards into the muck, revealed to his opponent part of the hand he folded.
“I’m going to lay down a 10 to you — 10-5,” Hellmuth said.
In 2-7, a draw poker variation, the object is to make the lowest possible hand without making a straight or pairing up. Aces are high in 2-7, which means 2-3-4-5-7 is the nuts. An unpaired hand, even with an ace, would beat a paired hand.
After Hellmuth folded his hand, Smith then revealed his cards.
“I got dealt a seven,” he said as he showed his first seven. “And another seven, and another seven, and another seven!”
Hellmuth’s entire hand wasn’t exposed, but his hand was obviously better than quads. While Hellmuth, or any poker player, gets bluffed from time to time, the reaction from those at the table was priceless.
Even the dealer joined in on the laughter at Hellmuth’s expense, while Deeb, never one to shy away from piling on, loudly clapped as Smith scooped the pot. And then he noticed PokerNews capturing the hand on video.
“We got good video of that, Dan, by the way,” Deeb told Smith as everyone at the table turned to our camera guy.
Deeb then continued needling Hellmuth, asking “did he overplay the 7’s or is that acceptable?”
“I have a game plan for Dan,” Hellmuth responded.
“You’ve had a game plan for me for years. The money goes from you to me,” Smith fired back.
Hellmuth then conceded that Smith’s had his number the past decade. For the next couple of minutes, the table continued to razz the 17-time bracelet winner for folding to quads.
At the time of publishing, Hellmuth was sitting on 200,000 chips, which put him middle of the pack with 41 out of 186 players remaining. Smith had 350,000 chips at last count, while Deeb was a bit behind that pace at 357,000. Poker legend Jennifer Harman was sitting on the chip lead at 565,000. First place pays $411,041, and the final table is scheduled for Sunday.
