Heads-up on a flop of 7♠Q♠2♥ Carlos Gil was in the big blind and check-called a bet of 3,000 from Nicholas Hellmuth, who was in middle position.

Gil check-called a bet of 6,000 from Hellmuth on the 6♦ turn, but check-folded facing a 10,000 bet from Hellmuth after the Q♦ completed the board.

"Why is he so much nicer than his dad?" Freddy Deeb said of Hellmuth from across the table.

"It's not a high bar," Hellmuth responded, which got a laugh from his tablemates. "I needle him whenever I can..."
