Sit up straight, now

Just before players headed off for their hard-earned dinner break, Phil Hellmuth got himself involved with an opponent who raised preflop to 900. Hellmuth called, and they saw a {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

flop, which they both checked.

They saw an {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

turn which was checked to Hellmuth; this time he bet 700, and his opponent called.

Come the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

river, it checked once again to Hellmuth, who this time bet 1,350. "Pass," announced his opponent. "Don't do that," begged Hellmuth, but it was done. Hellmuth showed him {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. Up to 12,700.
