Hudon Spikes a Set, Gets an Earful from Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth raised to 90,000 in middle position and Eliot Hudon three-bet to 200,000 from the cutoff. Nikita Kalinin ripped all in for 390,000 in the small blind which prompted a fold from Hellmuth and a call from Hudon.
Nikita Kalinin: Q♥Q♦
Eliot Hudon: J♥J♣
The flop came J♦9♣5♥ with the jack in the window to give Hudon the lead. The 4♦ and 9♠ runout changed nothing and Kalinin headed for the exit.
"Ace-queen," Hellmuth commented. "I put you on tens. You bust me too if you just call," he said to Hudon.
Hudon hinted at Hellmuth possibly putting it in with a holding worse than his.
"I'm not sticking it in with nines or tens," Hellmuth replied. "I'm Phil Hellmuth. I came to win."
Hudon just laughed to himself and continued with a raise on the very next hand.
