Hellmuth Pulls One On Last Hand Of The Night
On the final hand of the night, as all the other tables were busily bagging up their chips, Phil Hellmuth was in the middle of a big pot, doing what he does best.
The board read as we approached the table to see Hellmuth facing a bet of 13,500 from his opponent. As a few moments of thought and cutting down chips, Hellmuth gave his famous "raise it up".
He added just 14,000 to the bet, in what was almost a min-raise.
"I only have 15,000 behind in case you were wondering," commented Hellmuth as his opponent gave a wry grin.
He eventually folded and the table egged on Hellmuth to show the bluff since it was the last hand of the night. He obliged.
Hellmuth opened for just a pair of sevens!
"You think I've got no heart? I do this for a living baby!" giggled Hellmuth as he'll bag up over 75,000 in just two levels of play.
