First Hellmuthism of the Day
Level 28
Big O
Phil Hellmuth had been slouched over the table since the restart but sprang into life, raising to 100,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Joshua Adcock in the big blind, and he defended.
Adcock check-called for 75,000 on the K♣Q♣6♣ flop before the 2♦ turn checked through to the 5♠ river.
Adcock checked for a third time, and Hellmuth bet pot, sliding another 410,000 into the middle.
Adcock went into the tank, mulling over his options.
"I'll take this one. You take the next one," said Hellmuth, a common line he's pulled out over the last two decades.
Adcock agreed and he returned his cards to the dealer for Hellmuth to chip up.
"I can show you a couple," said Hellmuth as he tabled A♦A♠8♠.
