Jonathan Little Examines Phil Hellmuth’s Five-Bet with Eight-Three Suited

If you’ve been reading my strategy columns for PokerNews, you know I’ve examined several hands played between Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu in PokerGO’s High Stakes Duel. I’m going to continue examining their match with another big hand, one that Hellmuth demonstrated the concept of “no gamble, no future.”

The hand took place in the High Stakes Duel Round 3, which was a $200,000 Sit & Go, when the blinds were 300/600/600. Negreanu (237,700) was in the small blind with the and raised to 1,500.
