Hellmuth Bets Small, Gets Paid

Phil Hellmuth defended his big blind from a middle-position raise, and both players checked the flop. After a turn, Hellmuth checked again and his opponent bet an unknown amount by throwing out a T1,000 chip and verbalizing his bet. Hellmuth raised to 1,700, and his opponent called. Hellmuth bet 1,200 on the river.
