Hellmuth Hurting for Action

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened from the button and found one caller from the small.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and both players checked. When the {2-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Hellmuth checked and his opponent bet 20,000. Hellmuth immediately pushed his entire stack (about 87,000) into the middle, sending his opponent into the tank.

Hellmuth stood up and acted very casual, "I'll show if you call," Hellmuth said. "C'mon, call, I want you to call."

His opponent continued to tank in silence but eventually mucked.

"You wanna see?" Hellmuth said. His opponent shook his head and Hellmuth mucked, sending the table into a bit of a stir.

"Are you crazy? I wanted to see!" a fellow table-mate said.

Hellmuth is back up to 150,000.
