Following last week’s strategy column in which Phil Hellmuth got out of line against Daniel Negreanu in the $100,000 Round 2 of High Stakes Duel II, this week I look at a hand in which the “Poker Brat” switches gears into “ZOOM ZOOM” mode and puts Negreanu in a tough spot! What do you think about Hellmuth’s fast play?
The hand, which took place with the blinds at 1,000/2,000/2,000, began when Negreanu (113,000 – 55 BBs) raised to 4,000 from the small blind with the and Hellmuth (87,000 – 43 BBs) three-bet to 14,000.
