Hellmuth Gives up on the River
Level 13
: Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
John Elliott opened in the cutoff and both Phil Hellmuth, and Bradley Webert called in the blinds.
When the 10?9?2? flop hit the felt, Hellmuth took the lead firing a bet. Webert folded but Elliott made the call.
The 4? landed on the turn, and Hellmuth continued with another bet. Elliott called to see the 4? river.
Hellmuth slowed down this time with a check, and went in the tank after facing a bet from Elliott. After about 30 seconds, Hellmuth mucked his hand.
"I almost called you down with king-high," Hellmuth said as the dealer began to shuffle.
