Let's Have Fun with Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth limped from middle position, Toto Leonidas completed from the small blind, and Chris Vaughn checked from the big blind.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. The blinds checked, Hellmuth bet 300 (half of the pot), and only Leonidas called. The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked.

The river brought the {4-Spades} and Leonidas led out for 2,000. "Jack-four, right, Toto?" asked Hellmuth. "I lay down ace-king," he said, mucking his cards.

John Juanda then piped up. "You didn't have ace-king," he said. "You would stand up, knock your chair over, and say 'Look what I can fold, baby!'"

The table erupted into laughter, Hellmuth included.
