Hellmuth Wins a "Really Big Pot"

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Action folded to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind and he completed. Terrence Valenzuela was in the big blind and checked. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and all Hellmuth had to do was announce a bet before Valenzuela quickly folded.

"Hold the cards! Hold the cards! Hold the cards!" said one of the production team members into his headset. The dealer didn't muck the two hands and then one of the other production members pushed the hands back to each player and began putting the mini camera on the top for Hellmuth and Valenzuela to show in order to record the hole cards.

"You really wanna see my hand when I limped the small blind?" Hellmuth said. Then as he was showing the cards to the camera, he sarcastically commented, "This was a really big pot!"
