Expert Short-Stack Play

No Limit Hold'em

Phil Hellmuth opened to 2,100 from middle position, Shaun Deeb three-bet to 5,300 near the button.

"Wow, against Shaun Deeb," Hellmuth gushed. "This feels like a call."

He indeed called, leaving about 9,000 behind.

"Expert short-stack play," Deeb told our reporter. "Quote from Shaun Deeb."

The flop came down {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Hellmuth checked, Deeb continued and Hellmuth immediately open-folded {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

"That might've been good too," Hellmuth professed.

"You were crushed," Deeb countered, showing {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}.
