Landfish Is "An Interesting Player"

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth: {X-}{X-} / {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {X-}
Steve Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {X-}
James Obst: {X-}{X-} / {J-Clubs}{5-Spades}fold

Landfish was the bring-in with his deuce showing, and then Obst completed the bet. Hellmuth called, and then Landfish gave it some thought before calling after action folded back to him.

On fourth street, things started to get interesting as Hellmuth led with a bet and Landfish raised. Obst folded, then Hellmuth called.

On fifth street, Hellmuth check-called a bet from Landfish, and then Landfish paired up with threes on sixth. He bet and Hellmuth called, but not without comment.

"I almost raised you the street before, now I can barely call you," said Hellmuth as he tossed in the calling chips. "Such a brutal game."

After seventh street was dealt, Landfish bet.

"I guess I gotta pray you have queens," said Hellmuth. "OK, you've got it, just two tens," he continued, showing the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} from his hand and folding.

"You're an interesting player," Hellmuth told Landfish after the hand. "You play good, but when the pots get bigger, I'm going to get you."
