We caught the action on fifth street. Phil Hellmuth put out a bet and his opponent raised him, making it two bets. Hellmuth started laughing to himself, then called.
On sixth street, Hellmuth continued betting and was called again.
"I think i'm going to have to try to check raise you here," Hellmuth said.
His opponent just folded after looking at his seventh street card, making Operation Hellmuth check-raise an utter failure. As he raked in the pot, Hellmuth showed 
for an eight-six low.
