Hellmuth Bets the Right Amount
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
On a heads-up flop of K♣4♥7♣, Phil Hellmuth led out from the small blind for 2,500 and the big blind made the call.
The two players checked through the turn 7♥ and went straight to the river Q♥.
"Twenty-thousand," Hellmuth announced as he slid out four red chips.
"Wow, why so much," his opponent inquired, and then flashed the K♦ as he folded.
"I mean, check," Hellmuth smiled as he raked in the pot.
"Congrats Phil, you bet just the right amount to get a king to fold!" One of the other players joked.
