Hennigan Raises the River on Hellmuth
Niveau 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 7♠5♥J♥5♦, Phil Hellmuth bet 15,000 and John Hennigan called from the small blind.
The river came the 2♣ and Hennigan checked over to Hellmuth, who fired out another 18,000. Hennigan now came back with a raise to 52,000 and Hellmuth, after confirming the amount, quickly called.
Hennigan turned over A♦J♣ for two pair and Hellmuth flashed 9♣9♠ before mucking.
"Nice hand, buddy," Hellmuth told Hennigan. "It could've been worse. You could've moved in. I would've snapped."
