Bevand Befuddles Hellmuth

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

There was about 8,000 in the middle and the board read {4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Manuel Bevand, in the cutoff, pushed out a bet of 6,500, and Phil Hellmuth, on the button, quickly called. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and another bet from Bevand, for 14,000 this time. Hellmuth again wasted little time calling.

The river brought the {8-Hearts}. Bevand hesitated, then announced he was all in. Hellmuth exhaled loudly, rechecked his cards, then looked at Bevand. He then restacked his chips, seeing that they totaled a little over 50,000. Finally he folded, muttering as he did.

Bevand now has 235,000.
