Hellmuth Down Big Early
After a series of preflop raises, both Phil Hellmuth and his opponent T. Augdal saw a flop. Augdal, in the big blind led out for 3,500 and after pondering for about 15-20 seconds, Hellmuth made the call.
The dropped on the turn, and once again Augdal bet, this time tossing out 6,000. Hellmuth, this time quickly made the call and the two saw the fall on the river. Augdal, took much more time before betting this time, and when he finally did he tossed out two blue 5k chips. Hellmuth went deep into the tank and picked up a plate of pasta he had sitting next to him, taking a few bites as he thought.
"I just can't see ace-high being good here," Hellmuth said, before stating that he had the nut flush draw. "If this was a bluff, it'd be a great time to show it as he folded the face up. Augdal did not show, and decided to quietly collect the large pot instead.
Phil Hellmuth was left with about 12,000, while Augdal is on about 48,000.
