Caesar Never Saw It Coming, Either

Shamus
Shamus
Word is Phil Hellmuth is planning an elaborate Main Event entrance this weekend involving his dressing up as Julius Caesar in a chariot with a throng of models accompanying him. Would we expect anything less?

At the end of the previous level came a hand in which the button raised to 1,600 and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Hellmuth bet 1,500, the button raised to 4,500, Hellmuth reraised to 8,000, his opponent made it 18,000, and Hellmuth finally let it go.

His opponent turned over {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} as he dragged the pot. The usual hilarity ensued.

Hellmuth is now at 23,000.
