Ultimate Bet released a statement Monday morning that Hellmuth had lost control of their promotional car during an event in the Rio parking lot.
"It looked as if the brakes failed," a bystander reported to Gambling911.
Hellmuth rammed the UltimateBet race car into what appeared to be a concrete barricade. Traumatized UltimateBet officials referred to the object as a "pole".
Hellmuth had spent the day testing the 200 mph racecar in the Nevada desert. Upon approaching his hotel, the 11-time WSOP bracelet winner lost control of the vehicle and crashed head-on into a pole.

While the racecar was totaled, witnesses report that Hellmuth was conscious as he left the vehicle unscathed but visibly shaken. According to one onlooker, Hellmuth quipped, “Well, you can’t win every race.”
