Phil Hellmuth Calls a Three-Bet

Phil Hellmuth opened to 800 from Seat 9, and Gail Getzwiller re-raised to 1,700 next to act from Seat 1 as the cameras crowded around to see a hand featuring Hellmuth develop. The rest of the table folded, and Hellmuth called the raise and half-stood to peer across the dealer in an attempt to get a closer look at his opponent.

The flop was . Hellmuth checked to Getzwiller, who bet 2,500. Hellmuth took a beat, then folded before whispering to his neighbor, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, and then addressing Getzwiller: “You’re doing a good job against me and the Grinder.”
