Hellmuth's Bluffs Send Him Sliding

Phil Hellmuth raised to 16,000 from late position and Kenny Hsiung made the call from the button.

Hellmuth bet 20,000 on the {J-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} flop and Hsuing made the call. On the {A-Diamonds} turn Hellmuth tried 30,000 but was called again and the two saw a {4-Diamonds} river.

This time Hellmuth checked and folded to a 75,000 bet, showing {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} as he did so. Hsuing flipped {J-?} {J-?}.

A few hands later Hellmuth saw his small blind raise be reraised by Jose Manuel Gomez Rebenaque for an additional 30,000. Hellmuth called and then called a 50,000 bet on the flop of {8-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Both players checked the {8-Hearts} turn before Hellmuth bet 80,000 on the {Q-Spades} river.

He was immediately called by Rebenaque's {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and Hellmuth mucked and is now down to just 240,000.
