Hellmuth Bets Small, Gets Paid
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
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.
"I guess I have to pay you off," Hellmuth's opponent said.
"King-jack," Hellmuth announced.
"KIng-jack is good."
Also, Laz Hernandez and Maurice Hawkins have taken seats nearby.
