Poker After Dark - Yeah, All In

  It was Heckler's Week at NBC's hit poker show, Poker After Dark, and the hecklers were just getting warmed up. When you have a table with Sam Grizzle, Phil Hellmuth, Shawn Sheikhan, Jean-Robert Bellande, Mike Matusow and Gavin Smith all playing No Limit Texas Holdem, you can't afford to make a mistake. All of these players have lots of money, but their pride is more precious, as is their reputation as great players.  In this hand Grizzle opened play by calling with: ... a hand you want to see a cheap flop with. Mike raised it to $1,100 with: ... and Hellmuth made it $4,000 to go with cowboys: ... The chatter at the table petered out as the other players realized what was transpiring between Matusow and Phil. Shawn, ever disdainful, said of Mike, "He's going all in." That seemed to help Mike make up his mind after Sam folded away, and he said, "Yeah, all in." Phil nearly tore a hole in the felt shoving his chips to the middle, "I call, I call!" he said.  "See you later, Phil," said Sam, who has a known enmity with the Poker Brat. But when he and Bellande saw Mike's expression after Hellmuth rolled over his kings, they knew he was beat. "Come on, Mike," said Bellande, upset at his decision to go all in.  Mike turned over the nines, and it was bad for the Mouth. The flop came: ... and it was worse. The turn was: ... and the river of: ... nearly knocked out the Mouth, who was left with just a thousand of his starting 20k in chips.
