Default Re: Hellmuth vs eugeneel 200-400

What's the big deal? Phil played this one good, IMO, unless he had a busted straight flush draw, in which case he should bet the river to hopefully fold another flush draw. I suspect Phil had a big enough diamond draw that he thought it might be good. Actually, the fact that the turn went the way it did would suggest that eugene has a real hand and not a draw, so Phil knows that he's not folding, so giving up is fine. The fact that he doesn't give that kind of action often makes it even better. This is a high stakes headsup game, and while Phil is usually live, this wasn't the case here.
