Hellmuth Finds a Fold
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth opened to 12,000 on the button and was called by a player in the big blind.
Action checked through the A♦6♠9♠ flop to the A♠ turn at which point the big blind checked again. Hellmuth bet 9,000 only to see his opponent raise to 21,500. After some thought, Hellmuth folded, cautioning the big blind to be "easy buddy, easy" as he did so.
