Steaming Hellmuth Wins Two in a Row
Level 18
Phil Hellmuth and Eric Wasserson both drew two.
"This is where I make a wheel and he calls with a nine," said Hellmuth, both players checked.
Hellmuth drew one and Wasserson two. Hellmuth bet and Wasserson called. On the end, Hellmuth stood pat and Wasserson drew one.
"Let's hope this isn't a nine," said Wasserson, and he folded when the Poker Brat put out a bet.
On the next hand Andrew Kelsall raised from the button and Daniel Zack reraised from the small blind. Hellmuth cold-called from the big blind and Kelsall also called.
The three players checked and Zack and Hellmuth drew two, while Kelsall drew one. Zack checked to Hellmuth who bet, and forced both opponents to fold.
