"Now We're Playing Poker, Kid"

Phil Hellmuth opened to 500 from middle position, and Alex Bolotin called from the big blind to go heads up with The Brat.

The flop rolled out {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, and Bolotin knocked the table. When Hellmuth continued out with another 650 chips, Bolotin snuck in a check-raise to 1,600. Hellmuth called.

The {A-Clubs} hit fourth street, and Bolotin gave up control again with another check. Hellmuth took that as his cue to fire another 1,700 chips at the pot, and that was enough to get the job done. Bolotin mucked, and Hellmuth flashed his airball {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} as the dealer pushed him the pot.

"Now we're playing poker, kid," Hellmuth quipped. He's up to 11,400 now.
