PreFlop
Doyle Brunson - Not a great hand, but Doyle practically invited aggressive play in Texas Hold’em, so he put out $1,000 and sat back to see if there were any takers.
Phil Hellmuth - The old Poker Brat made the call with a hand that gave him plenty of opportunities to steal or do something fancy if the flop did not fall his way.
The Flop

Phil Hellmuth - The flop DID fall his way, giving him top pair, big kicker. Phil is a cautious player, though, and he checked.
Doyle Brunson - Brunson decided to mess with Phil’s head and called attention to the fact that there were a Ten and a Duce in the flop. This is Doyle Brunson’s famous hand, and one he is known to play just for fun. Then Doyle moved $10k forward like he actually did have two pair.
Phil was in a quandary. He hemmed and hawed but finally convinced himself he was beat and folded the best hand.
