Hellmuth Bluffed

Phil Hellmuth, during Day 1
Phil Hellmuth, during Day 1
Phil Hellmuth raised it up from middle position before Bobby Law three-bet from the button. Hellmuth made the call and they took a flop of {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Hellmuth checked and Law fired out 6,500. Hellmuth made the call. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Hellmuth checked again to Law, who fired a second barrel worth 15,000. Hellmuth thought for a moment, saying, "I might lay it down, but I certainly put you on ace-king." He eventually laid down his hand and Law flashed {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for nothing but imagination!

"Nice. Wow!" said Hellmuth. "You know I've got to take you out now!"
