Hellmuth Shows a Set
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/3,000, 30,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth opened to 65,000 from under the gun and was called by Casey Brown on the button and Turbo Nguyen in the big blind.
Nguyen checked to Hellmuth on the 5♠9♦Q♣ flop and he continued for 50,000. Brown folded but Nguyen check-raised to 200,000. Hellmuth called.
The A♠ came on the turn and Nguyen bet 150,000. Hellmuth shoved for a bit over 400,000 total and Nguyen let his hand go.
"Hundred bucks if you show a bluff," Nguyen said to Hellmuth.
"Bluff? You were drawing dead on the flop, I'm Phill fu**ing Hellmuth" Hellmuth replied as he tabled 5♣5♦ for a flopped set.
