Taylor Takes a Few From Hellmuth
Level 20
: Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Limit Hold 'em
Following a raise from Esther Taylor in the cutoff, Phil Hellmuth defended his big blind.
Hellmuth then led out on the 9?8?2? flop. Taylor called and the dealer put the 6? out on the turn.
Again, Hellmuth bet and got a call from Taylor. On the A? river both players checked with Hellmuth declaring "eights."
Taylor showed her J?J? for a better pair of jacks and the win.
Hellmuth mucked his hand then let out one of his now trademark sigh-squawks before telling Taylor that he had jack-eight suited and that she had him really dead.
