Hellmuth Has the Hand
Niveau 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth, who was in the small blind. He chose to just call and his opponent thought for a moment before checking his option.
With little action the board ran out 10?6?A?A?9?, on the river Hellmuth bet and when his opponent folded, he couldn't help but show the 9?9? for a rivered boat. Hellmuth famously won the Main Event with pocket nines against Johnny Chan in 1989.
Hellmuth, rather pleased, said, "I limp in, in case you want to move all in... I call!".
