Hellmuth Ready To Gamble With The Kids
Phil Hellmuth is ready "to gamble with the kids" over on Table 4 and has just helped himself to a nice early pot doing so.
The action folded to the 12-time WSOP bracelet winner and he said "Raise it up" before saying "26" and raising to 2,600.
"Really?" said someone at the table.
"You kids like to raise smaller, I like to raise a little more," replied Hellmuth.
To his immediate left, on the button, Timothy Reilly three-bet to 5,400 which forced out the blinds. With the action back on Hellmuth he said, "I'll have to gamble with the kids today," before making the call.
The flop came down 
and Hellmuth placed his sunglasses on and checked. Reilly continued with a bet of 6,000 and Hellmuth sat staring him down for 30 seconds before check-raising to 15,000. Reilly tanked for close to two minutes before relinquishing his hand.
