Hellmuth Doesn't Bluff

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened the cutoff to 800 and it folded to the small blind who snap-raised to 1,600. It folded back to Hellmuth who let out a dramatic "Wow".

Eventually he called and the flop brought {3-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Hellmuth's opponent continued for 950 and the 13-time WSOP champion flat called. The {9-Spades} turned and two checks prompted the board to complete with the {7-Clubs}.

It was checked to Hellmuth once more and he fired 1,950.

"Good bluff," his opponent lamented.

"You really think I'd try to bluff you?" said Hellmuth, tabling {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} in the process for a flopped two pair. He was all smiles as he dragged in the pot that boosted his stack to about 42,000.
