Hellmuth Nearly Doubles Through Schulman

Level 7

2-7 Triple Draw:

Phil Hellmuth raised under the gun and Nick Schulman made it three-bets in the big blind. Hellmuth made it four bets and Schulman called.

Both players took one then checked. Schulman took one again, and Hellmuth took one as well. Schulman then bet. Helmuth sweated his draw and exasperatedly threw the {4-Clubs} up on the table. He called anyways.

Schulman stood pat on the final draw. Hellmuth took one. Schulman then checked. Helmuth sweated his card.

"That's a good card," he said before betting, leaving himself with 1,500 behind. Schulman called. Helmuth showed his {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-} for an eighty-seven, and that would earn him the pot as Schulman mucked.
