Hellmuth Adds to His Stack

Preflop, Phil Hellmuth makes it 4,500 to go and gets called by a late-position player and the big blind.

Flop: {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

After the big blind checks the flop, Phil bets out 5,000 and only the big blind calls.

The turn is the {4-Spades} and Phil bets 9,000 into his opponent. While his opponent thinks over the call Phil tells him, "I'll take this one, you take the next one." The tactic works, his opponent mucks, and Phil announces, "The only thing I was worried about was if he had a set of sevens."
