The latest episode of PokerGO's No Gamble, No Future hit the airwaves Tuesday evening, bringing viewers another installment of $25/$25 action featuring Phil Hellmuth, Jennifer Tilly, Nick Wright, Ethan Klein, Joe Stapleton, Taylor 'Lightning' Wilson, Daniel 'DrDadPoker' Schill, and Rips. Hellmuth took a $24K beat in last week's episode, but resisted the urge to delve into a classic 'Poker Brat' rant.
Unfortunately for the table, Wright laid another beat on Hellmuth and there was no stopping him this time.
'Goodnight to Phil Hellmuth'
It was Tilly who set the wheels in motion, raising to $200 with 
. Wright peeled 
and fired in a three-bet to $875. When the action folded around to Hellmuth in the straddle, he opted to cold call the raise with 
while Tilly returned her rags to the dealer.
"What do you have, Phil?" Wright leaned in to ask, somewhat thrown off by Hellmuth's decision to call.
"There's not that many hands that I would play for $875," Hellmuth replied with a cheeky smile.
The 
flop improved Hellmuth to a no-good top pair and he checked the action over to Wright.
"We say goodnight to Phil Hellmuth," said Brent Hanks from the commentary booth.
With an over-pair to the board and $2,025 in the middle, Wright comfortably fired a $600 continuation bet and Hellmuth quickly called to bring in the 
on the turn.
Nick Wright sent Phil Hellmuth on a semi-rant after getting the better of him in a five-figure pot. "Guys, this is a very rare event here. Jen [Tilly] bet, I three-bet. Phil cold-called out of the straddle for $875," Wright summarized.
"True," Hellmuth chimed as he checked once again.
Wright checked the action through, playing his hand sneakily, and the board-completing 
fell on the river – improving both players to full houses. Hellmuth took the initiative on the river, firing $1,950 into the middle with his second-best holding. Wright took his time, but eventually settled on a raise to $6,000. Hellmuth snap-called – only to see the bad news and watch as Wright hauled in the $15,225 pot.
The Hellmuthian pot boils over
As the players conversed around the table in the aftermath of the hand, Hellmuth couldn't contain himself.
"What a f**king joke this f**king game is," Hellmuth lamented.
"You had queens there, right?" Wright asked. "Every time, yeah."
"He's calling me with ace-seven... this is, this is the worst," Hellmuth continued.
Phil Hellmuth waited for the table to focus before starting in on his rant. "Hold on, guys, let Phil get a rant in real quick," Wright told the table.
"Go on Phil, you have the floor," Tilly told him.
"No, it's very clever. Every time I want to rant lately, everybody talks over it. It's really incredible," he went on. "I'm almost done, though, it's like weird. It's really weird, it happens every time I rant... everybody talks over the top of it. And I tell my guys at my home game they should have shut the f**k up because it was going to be a good rant."
"This will be a good rant," Wright said. "Did you like that check on the turn, Phil?"
"Yeah, you played it f**king great. You called me with ace-seven–," Hellmuth tried to explain.
"Ace-seven?! That's two hours ago," Wright interrupted.
"Right! So now I'm only going to show you the nuts so of course I had the nuts," Hellmuth countered. "It was so unlucky."
