Hellmuth and Williams Tangle

Phil Hellmuth raised it up to 525 from middle position and David Williams made the call on the button. The big blind made the call and we were three ways to a flop of {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The big blind tapped the table and Hellmuth followed up with a small bet of 550. Williams made the call as the big blind got out of the way.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Hellmuth released a second barrel worth 1,100. Again Williams tossed out calling chips as the railbirds huddled closer to catch a glimpse as a big pot appeared to be developing.

The {8-Diamonds} hit the river which was sure to slow someone down. That player was Hellmuth, as he checked over to Williams who fired 2,000.

"You had to know I had a big hand. I bet every street!" muttered Hellmuth. "So you're either bluffing or you rivered it..." he continued.

After a little time in the spotlight, Hellmuth finally gave it up. He slips to 10,825 with Williams up to 34,500.

"It's a long game. You're time is coming!" added Hellmuth.
