Hellmuth Spars With Lamb
Level 20
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth opened on the button and Ben Lamb defended out of the big blind.
"Oh, man. I got called by a good player. And he just saw me fold top set. F***," Hellmuth said before the flop came down.
Lamb checked on the 
flop and Hellmuth checked back. Lamb checked again on the 
turn and Hellmuth bet 90,000. Lamb check-raised to 300,000 and Hellmuth squirmed around in his seat before folding.
"Ben, I will just say this: If you get it all-in dead against me later, I won't say a word," said Hellmuth.
"What's the f***ing live line on that?" Lamb laughed.
