Hellmuth Raises, Folds
Level 9
No-Limit Hold'em
Phil Hellmuth raised to 11,000 from middle position, and it folded to Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier in the big blind who leaned forward to get a look at Hellmuth's remaining chips.
"83 to start the hand," said Hellmuth across the table, in response to which Grospellier set out a reraise to 27,700.
The action back on Hellmuth, he stewed for about 15 seconds before letting his hand go.
Afterwards he asked the dealer to hand him the stack of black placards indicating the games to be played, with "No-Limit Hold'em" resting on top. Hellmuth sorted through the next couple of games then set the placards in front of his seat for a while before returning them to their place along the middle edge of the table as he brooded.
