I'm pretty sure Hellmuth would've come apart at the seams had he been on the wrong side of it. I think Hellmuth's usually pretty solid, but this call is one of the worst I've seen in pro poker. Hellmuth must've thought Cabrera was on a draw, but I'd have to pretty sure of my read to call bet with TP5K from a guy who's pushed with two to act. As it was, we saw that his read was WAY off and he was a 13 to 1 dog with his tournament life on the line. Someone should remind him of that the next time he goes off on some dude that hits a 40/60 dog on him.
