Go to the NBC Sports poker page here. Click on the "Heads-Up" section. Even if you don't want to watch the whole 64-player match, or even the whole two hours of the first show (which aired earlier today), at least treat yourself to the three-hand match in which Phil Hellmuth busts out at the hands of Tom "Durrrrrr" Dwan. It's "1st Round--Clubs, segment 2." It's only six minutes long.
For a second, it looks like Phil might handle the bad beat in a sportsmanlike manner, but then his true self shines through, and he starts haranguing and criticizing and making fun of his opponent for bad play.
The above is an actual photograph of Phil, taken just moments after this match ended.

That was glorious. Blah blah blah tens blah blah. "Name the stakes." If seeing Helmuth's cash game on High Stakes poker is any indication of his live play, someone can roll me and I can guarantee you a profit.
My favorite lines:
Dwan, once Phil starts going off: "I was gonna say good game, sorry for the suck-out, but....."
Leann Tweeden, responding to Phil complaining how Dwan would just suck out again if they play a rematch: "But Phil, isn't that poker?"
