His table talk ruined him.

I think the same goes for Matusow on the quads hand. Hellmuth was probably leaning towards a fold, but he certainly hadn't made up his mind. Then Mike opens his big mouth and says "I can tell you I don't have a full house, I don't have trips, and I don't have aces up!" That is one of the most clear-cut B&M tells that everyone knows. "Here are a bunch of hands I don't have, so please call me with a decent hand." It's 100% reliable that villain wants a call.
Like 10 seconds after that speech, Phil confidently turbomucked. Sucked, because I wanted to see PH lose another 30k.

IMO Mike saw Phil was about to fold and made a desperate attempt at changing Phil's mind. I think Phil was folding at least 80% of the time with 2 overs on board and Mike betting 12K on the flop.
