Hennigan Raises the River on Hellmuth
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 7?5?J?5?, Phil Hellmuth bet 15,000 and John Hennigan called from the small blind.
The river came the 2? and Hennigan checked over to Hellmuth, who fired out another 18,000. Hennigan now came back with a raise to 52,000 and Hellmuth, after confirming the amount, quickly called.
Hennigan turned over A?J? for two pair and Hellmuth flashed 9?9? before mucking.
"Nice hand, buddy," Hellmuth told Hennigan. "It could've been worse. You could've moved in. I would've snapped."
