He Was Going to Call with Queen-High Honey!

No Limit Hold'em

Phil Hellmuth limped in from the small blind and Joao Vieira checked his option from the big blind.

The 9♣7♦7♠ flop checked through to the A♦ turn, where Hellmuth bet 20,000. Vieira called.

Hellmuth checked in the dark, ahead of the 5♣ completing the board. Vieira sized up to 75,000 and Hellmuth went into the tank.

He eventually open-folded his Q♣4♣, telling Vieira he was very close to calling him with queen-high. Vieira kept his cards face down as he slid them into the muck after collecting the pot.

The following hand, Hellmuth limped in from the button. Vieira called from the small blind. Albert Daher then made it 70,000 from the big blind and received two quick folds.

"Okay Albert, every time I've limped today, you've raised," Helmuth said, while wagging a finger at Daher.

"It's not gonna work very well at this table, but you'll keep trying, 100% won't work. I tell people stuff, they don't listen. They go the opposite."

"I wish I listened to you all my life," Daher interjected. "I'd have been much richer."
