Hellmuth Catches a Bluff
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth opened to 13,000 from under the gun, and a player in the big blind defended.
Both players checked the K♦7♣10♣ flop leading to the 3♠ turn. The big blind bet 35,000, and Hellmuth made the call.
The big blind fired again on the K♠ river, this time opting to bet a smaller size of 15,000. Hellmuth immediately made the call.
Hellmuth tabled Q♣Q♥ for two pair, kings and queens, while the big blind could only showdown 9♥8♦ for a missed straight draw turned into a bluff on the river.
