No-Limit Hold'em

Phil Hellmuth opened with a raise to 45,000 from the cutoff -- a 4.5x raise -- and it folded to Matt Glantz who reraised all in from the big blind for 171,000 more. Hellmuth called, showing {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Glantz turned over {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

The flop came {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, pairing Glantz and leaving Hellmuth looking for a nine. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and river the {Q-Hearts}, and Glantz doubles back to 458,000. Hellmuth meanwhile now has about 900,000.

And, as you might imagine, some words to share.

"What are you thinking?" he asked Glantz afterwards. "I open to 45 to send a message, and you move in with ace-six?!?" Glantz continued to stack his chips.

"You don't speak the language of no-limit," he added.
