Johannes Hellwig Boosts Stack
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Johannes Hellwig defended his big blind against the raise of Angelo Pugliese and check-called two streets on the 
board before moving all in for his last 16,875 on the river. Pugliese snap-called with pocket queens, but Hellwig showed 
for a straight.
One hand later, Patrick Wolff limped in and the player from one seat over raised to 3,000. Hellwig made it 11,400 to go in the small blind and just the cold-caller paid. On the 
flop, Hellwig bet 16,500 and was called before moving all in after the 
turn.
Some table talk emerged and the opponent asked "queens no good?" before then folding. Hellwig showed him 
and the rush in two hands got him up to almost double the average.
