Hellmuth Forces De Silva to Fold
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was checked to Phil Hellmuth under the gun with the flop coming 2♥7♦4♦. Hellmuth bet 34,000, and Upeshka De Silva called from the big blind.
The 6♥ came on the turn, and De Silva checked once more. Hellmuth announced a bet of 66,000, which De Silva matched.
The Q♦ came on the river, and Hellmuth found action checked to him again. He moved all in for his last 91,000. De Silva counted out his own chips and considered his next move for over a minute.
"Nice hand," said De Silva as he eventually tossed his cards into the muck.
