Hellmuth Makes a Loose Call

[user38449]

With one limper in front of him, Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind and the big blind checked. The flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Phil bet 150; the big blind called and the limper folded.

Both players checked after the turn brought the {3-Spades}. The board paired when the {Q-Clubs} fell on the river, and Phil checked to his opponent, who bet 300. Phil made the call and his opponent showed {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for trip Queens. Hellmuth turned over {K-Hearts}{9-Spades} for nothing but King high.

"You see what I did?" said Phil after the hand. "I called with K-9. Nobody else would have made that call."

Phil dropped to 4,400 on the hand.

We've overheard many players complaining that it's too cold in the Player Pavilion; earlier in the series, everyone was unhappy because it was too hot.

Bryan Devonshire thinks he got it figured out: "I think the air conditioning is just another play by Harrah's. It forces everyone to buy a sweatshirt or a jacket."

Whatever the case may be, conditions are rather chilly in the tent.
