Hellmuth Employing White Magic
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
In the last hand of the previous level, Nick Pupillo raised to 350,000 in middle position. Phil Hellmuth quickly announced a call from the small blind before he checked in the dark.
On the Q♦4♣4♠ flop, Hellmuth check-raised Pupillo's continuation-bet of 400,000 to 800,000. Pupillo called the min-raise, seeing Hellmuth check in the dark for a second time afterward.
Pupillo checked back once he saw the 3♥ turn, prompting Hellmuth to bet 900,000 on the K♣ river. Pupillo swiftly gave up on the hand, and Hellmuth tabled K♥Q♠ as he raked in the chips.
