Hellmuth Makes Brilliant Read Against Negreanu in the High Stakes Duel

In this week’s PokerNews strategy column, I look at another hand from Round 1 of the $50,000 High Stakes Duel II between Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Hellmuth makes a brilliant read and lets his hand go when he knows he is beaten. Should he have bet the turn for protection though? Negreanu, who is fresh off winning his first live event in eight years, said in the match that he would have folded had Hellmuth opted for a huge bet on the turn.
