Richardson Takes From Hellmuth

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ben Richardson was in late position and raised to 1,800. Phil Hellmuth was in the big blind and defended.

The flop was {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, and both players checked to the turn, which was the {j-Clubs}. Richardson bet 2,700, and Hellmuth check-raised to 5,500. Richardson called. The river was the {j-Spades}, and Hellmuth checked. Richardson fired out a bet of 9,500, sending the 14-time WSOP champ into a bit of disbelief.

After assessing things, Hellmuth elected to fold, flashing a king. Richardson, with a smile, also showed a king prior to mucking his other card.
