The *New* Hellmuth Tank-Fold
No-Limit Hold'em
Joe Serock opened for 2,100 from UTG and got five callers including Phil Hellmuth and Erik Sagstrom. The flop came down and Hellmuth led out for 5,000. Only Sagstrom called. They went heads-up to the turn, which fell the . Hellmuth bet another 12,000 and Sagstrom called. When the hit the river, Hellmuth gave the table a slow knock and Sagstrom bet 16,000.
Hellmuth took off his sunglasses and stared at the board in silence. He uttered not a word about the quality of his luck, the quality of the river card, or Northern European idiots as he pondered his decision. Ultimately, he mucked without saying a word. Do we have the feng-shui expert to thank for that?
