Hellmuth Bets the Right Amount
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
On a heads-up flop of K?4?7?, Phil Hellmuth led out from the small blind for 2,500 and the big blind made the call.
The two players checked through the turn 7? and went straight to the river Q?.
"Twenty-thousand," Hellmuth announced as he slid out four red chips.
"Wow, why so much," his opponent inquired, and then flashed the K? as he folded.
"I mean, check," Hellmuth smiled as he raked in the pot.
"Congrats Phil, you bet just the right amount to get a king to fold!" One of the other players joked.
