Phil Hellmuth Takes a Trip Through Valuetown

Action folded around to a late position player who limped. Phil Hellmuth called from the button as did the blinds. Four players saw a flop of {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}. The blinds checked and the late position player bet 1,500. Hellmuth called, the blinds passed, and the dealer layed down the {J-Spades} on the turn. Both players checked. The river brought the {Q-Spades} and Hellmuth's opponent checked. Phil pushed out 2,000 and was called. Hellmuth showed {7-Spades}{6-Spades}(X)(X). His opponent mucked. With that pot, "The Poker Brat" is now manning a stack of about 35,000.

Mike has been short-stacked for a while now; just before the break he was all in preflop for his last 1400 with two callers. The flop, {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Spades}, turn {3-Hearts} and river {J-Diamonds} were checked by the two active players and when the first player tabled {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair both of the other players mucked.

Grizzly Call on the River

On a board of {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, Sam Grizzle bet the pot and he was re-potted by an opponent. Grizzle called. The river was the {5-Hearts}. Grizzle checked. His opponent moved all in and Grizzle went into the tank before he called.

Grizzle showed {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a full house while his opponent flipped over {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} for a straight. Grizzle thought his opponent had pocket 10s for a bigger boat.

He increased his stack to 80K.
