Hellmuth Makes Hero Fold

Phil Hellmuth

Jason Mercier raised to 24,000 in middle position with Leandro Pimentel and Phil Hellmuth making the call to see a flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Action on the flop was checked around and the {9-Hearts} hit the turn. Hellmuth checked to Mercier who fired 57,000. Pimentel folded as Hellmuth made the call.

The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and Hellmuth checked to Mercier who fired 158,000. This is when the theatrics started.

"This is some kind of joke!" exclaimed Hellmuth. "This is the kid that's gonna give me all of his chips!" he continued as he folded {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} face up.

Mercier didn't show as he moves up to 550,000 with Hellmuth back to 310,000.
