Hellmuth Loses a Ton to Bonomo
Picking up the action following a flop of 
, Phil Hellmuch checked from the cutoff and Justin Bonomo bet 20,000 from the button. Hellmuth check-raised to 43,000, Bonomo called, and the 
landed on the turn. Hellmuth bet 58,000, Bonomo called, and the 
river completed the board. Hellmuth bet 145,000 and after a few moments Bonomo raised all in for not much more.
Before the dealer finished counting out the amount, Hellmuth folded.
"What's it like, Justin?" asked Hellmuth. After a few more comments from Hellmuth, Bonomo responded.
"I'm not the one who was caught bluffing," replied Bonomo.
"I wasn't bluffing," said Hellmuth.
"Then why did you fold for like 20,000 more?" asked Bonomo.
"Why put in 20,000 if I know I'm beat? I think it was more, anyway," said Hellmuth.
