Re: Why is Hellmuth checking in the dark?
[ QUOTE ]
What happens when he has 10 10 and dark checks, then the flop comes 4-5-6 with 2 to a flush? That could be dangerous for his hand.

You need to realize that there is no chance Hellmuth is putting significant chips into the pot in that situation even if he is sure he has the best hand. He wouldn't be able to protect his hand from the draw because he isn't going to bet large enough to make a drawing hand fold.
