Battle Between Hellmuth and Habib Continues
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 3,000 ante
From early position, Phil Hellmuth raised the action to 40,000. In keeping with their constant confrontation, Habib made the call from the next seat over and the rest of the table folded.
Each player drew one card and Hellmuth shot out a bet of 60,000. After some pondering, Habib finally laid it down and Hellmuth showed the table and then began talking about his other card, saying that it was an eight.
"If you're going to tell everyone about it why not just show the card?" Schulman asked while laughing. All Hellmuth could reply with was a wry smile.
This pot brings Hellmuth up to 440,000.
