Rapid Fire from Hellmuth
Adrian Mateos raised to 27,000 under the gun and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind. Justin Bonomo reraised to 135,000 from the big blind which got Mateos to fold but Hellmuth snap-called.
The flop came 7♥6♣2♦ and Hellmuth checked to Bonomo who bet 75,000. Hellmuth instantly threw in a check-raised to 300,000 and Bonomo called. The turn was the 10♣ and Hellmuth splashed in a bet of 500,000.
"Do me a favor," Bonomo pleaded. "I know you're bluffing, just don't show me a bluff."
Hellmuth proceeded to table his 7♣7♦ for a set of sevens.
"At least you act faster than Christoph," Adrian Mateos piped in, referring to Christoph Vogelsang who previously occupied that seat.
On the next hand, Hellmuth made a three-bet on the button and then showed K♦6♦ as he collected the pot. "I came to f***ing play. If you're weak, I'm gonna raise you."
