Kill Phil

If it were an inexperienced player or in effect 'trying to trap one's opponent', I would find the following hands annoying. However, we are talking about Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth certainly isn't one without flaws, but he has a small ball approach unlike anyone else.

The following hands are from Day 2 of the 5 Star Poker Classic, courtesy of cardplayer.com.


Seat four raises to $4,000 preflop and Phil Hellmuth calls from the button. The big blind calls and the flop comes AJ10. It checks around to Hellmuth, who bets $3,000. The big blind folds and seat four raises to $10,000. Hellmuth calls and the turn is the J. Both players check and the river is the 2. Seat four checks and Hellmuth bets $12,000. Seat four calls and Hellmuth turns over K-Q for the nut straight. His opponent flips over AK and mucks his hand.

After Chino Rheem enters the pot, Phil Hellmuth raises to $15,000 preflop. Rheem makes the call and the flop comes Q43. Rheem checks and Hellmuth bets $5,000. Rheem raises $13,000 more and Hellmuth makes the call. The turn is the 8 and Rheem bets $30,000. Hellmuth minimum raises to $60,000 and Rheem goes into the tank. After a few minutes, Rheem mucks his hand and Hellmuth turns over pocket queens for a set.


If his composure stays in tact, Hellmuth will certainly be a threat throughout the tournament.
