no way he open completes preflop with an A.

The way Phil plays heads up limit can be strange to say the least. I've seen him limp/call from the button with hands like A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] before.

You can 5-bet on HU tables at UB?

pretty sure unlimited raising.

[/ QUOTE ]No. It is either a 6 or 8 bet cap. I'm pretty sure it's a 6 bet cap.

Come on, no Hellmuth hand history is complete without the post-hand chat transcript.

hellmuth is one of the top players in my database ranked by $won/hand from

He's still going (2-4 Omaha). How long's this been going, is eugene up or down?

[Sponger15SB]

I think eugene is up like a little bit over every game they've played. Last night they played almost every game UB offers.

Pretty funny.

I'd like to give hime credit for 45d, but somehow I doubt it....

its also impossible. So good intuition there.

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.

its impossible for phil to have flopped a straight flush draw that isn't good on that board on the river. A6d is my guess.
