Hellmuth Impressed By Opponents Fold

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was 60,000 in the middle on the turn board of {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The big blind bet 100,000 and was met with a shove of 232,000 from Phil Hellmuth in early position.

The big blind was deep into the tank and Hellmuth said on three occasions one of his famous lines "I'll take this one, you take the next one."

The big blind looked uncomfortable in his seat and eventually found a fold revealing he had {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for two pair. Hellmuth praised the big blind for the strong lay down and revealed he had {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for a stronger two pair.
