In this video we are going to see if Heads Up poker master Phil Hellmuth can withstand the heat that Tom Dwan brings on when a whole bunch of draws complete on the river!
This hand took place during the $200,000 buy-in High Stakes Duel on PokerGO and is a perfect example of how you should play your middling pocket pairs when there are a ton of draws available and your opponent decides to check-raise!

I’d fold. It happens every time cos you don’t raise pre-flop…
I would have folded.
Why does Phil always have to play Sheriff with mediocre holdings?
Nothing to me reads in ahead, he played his hand horrible though, you have to find out your rank pre flop, and flop even the turn he didn't play all that well to know where he was at. He is a very good player but refuses to believe after all these years poker really ends up how you play each hand regardless of starting strength. Obviously not every time but I'm saying he could have won this hand for some random x amount rather then losing x and crying about "muh bad beat"
Well we were hoping on the turn he had the club draw, so now that it comes in… we do block the T8 and the KT, but he’s gonna have a lot of Qs Js and flushes. For 1/2 pot, we have to be right only 25% of the time to call… but I just don’t see him betting this way with a 9 or a 3, and what are his airball bluffs? I really don’t see any!
A. FOLD
Definitely fold..
I was thinking Dwan at worst had A9o but he was clearly representing something closer to A9 clubs flush-draw, maybe KJo with a club.
K4s flush was great to raise with because a shove isn't likely unless from a set or AA and Dwan wanted information for a good proper 4x raise.
When you can't even beat two broadways on the board, and have no flush-draw on a wet board, and miss an open-ended straight-draw, you are not playing on the same level..have to fold.
It'd be a better call if the straight-draw was a one-liner on the flop, but would his cbet be better if it was higher/lower?
Hellmuth: finds a fold on the river
Also Hellmuth: limps in 320BB deep
This is a trivial fold.
fold. you let the limper in 2 /any of clubs bet you. you got to decent overs that they could have, and you do not know because you limp checked. FOLD
Easy fold for me, Most likely Tom rivered a flush. Either that or he has a 2 pair or better at the flop. We block QT and T8, and we can't even beat QT now. I don't really like bluffing without a club either, so folding is the obvious choice
