Tight Fold From Hellmuth; Seat Open for Nguyen

zedmaster84

Niveau 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth had limped in and Anton Smirnov checked out of the big blind. On a flop of Q♠8♦4♦, Smirnov checked and Hellmuth bet 20,000. Smirnov check-raised the pot and Hellmuth shot out of his seat in disgust, then talked himself into a tight fold as he mentioned to have had aces without diamonds and a low draw.

"I am sure you are drawing dead," he even told Smirnov, who glanced at his cards and flashed the 4♣4♥ for a set.

Soon after on the same table, Ky Nguyen was all in blind with a severe short stack of just 12,000 and Vincas Tamasauskas also got his short but covering stack into the middle.

Ky Nguyen: A♦A♠J♣6♠
Vincas Tamasauskas: A♣6♦5♥4♥

The board ran out K♠10♣8♥J♥A♥ and Tamasauskas rivered a flush.
