"I'm Phil Hellmuth"

Phil Hellmuth getting it done!
Phil Hellmuth getting it done!

A player at Table 92 decided to raise preflop to 1,200 and was called by none other than Phil Hellmuth. When action got back around to the small blind, an unknown reraised to 3,600. The original raiser folded and Hellmuth push all in for 1,225 more.

"I trapped ya," Hellmuth smirked.

"You trapped me?" was the reply.

"I'm Phil Hellmuth, you think I don't have a hand?"

The small blind then made the call and turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Hellmuth said, "Nice call kid," and turned over {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The flop came {5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, giving both a pair of aces. The turn was the {9-Clubs}, leaving Hellmuth drawing thin. With one foot out the door, the {10-Hearts} hit on the river giving Hellmuth the best hand and more than doubling his chip count to over 19,000.

"You gotta give the kid credit, he got the money in with the best hand," Hellmuth graciously said in victory.
