Hellmuth Needs Help

"What Should I Do?"
"What Should I Do?"
Our reporter came upon a hand developing between John Juanda and Phil Hellmuth.

On a board of {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Spades} with 3,000 in the middle, Juanda bet 2,250, and Hellmuth took a moment to decide. Much to our reporter's surprise, Hellmuth asked him what he thought he should do. "It's a tough one," said the reporter, maintaining an appropriately neutral stance.

Hellmuth thought a while longer, then folded, saying he was letting go two pair. "It could be a quick day," he exhaled.
