Hellmuth's Trap Doesn't Work

Level 3 : 2,000/3,000, 5,000 ante

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8

Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{a-Spades} / {x-}
Viktor Blom: {x-}{x-} / {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {x-}

In a Stud Hi-Lo hand, Phil Hellmuth clashed with Viktor Blom and ended up sigh-calling a bet on seventh with a pair of aces showing. Multiple bets were already in the middle and Blom rolled over the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for two pair and a seven-five low, while Hellmuth tabled {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

"Next time I am three-betting you. No more calling. I call because I want to trap you," Hellmuth said after his pair of aces and inferior low had been scooped.

Higgs Won't Show

Level 3 : 2,000/3,000, 5,000 ante
Sam Higgs
Sam Higgs

No-Limit Hold’em

Phil Hellmuth in the big blind checked the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} turn and called a bet of 53,000 by Sam Higgs from under the gun to see the {7-Hearts} on the river. Hellmuth checked once more and Higgs tossed in a bet of 200,000.

No call followed as Hellmuth folded and Higgs double-checked his cards. He picked them up again and showed to the rail without any other players being able to see them, which prompted some table chat from Hellmuth.

"Every time they do that, they are bluffing me," Hellmuth remarked.
