Seidensticker Puts Hellmuth to the Test
Level 24
Pot Limit Omaha
Phil Hellmuth limped from the cutoff, as did Seidensticker in the small blind, and Nathan Gamble in the big blind checked his option.
The flop came 10♥8♦5♠ and when it checked to Hellmuth he bet out 40,000. Seidensticker made the call, and Gamble folded.
The turn was the Q♣ and Seidensticker led out, betting the pot for 144,000. Hellmuth immediately looked confused, and after about a minute in the tank said "I have queens up and wheel draw" but despite that, Hellmuth made the fold, to give Seidensticker the pot.
