Jennifer Tilly 在《Hellmuth’s Home Game》節目中持續輾壓對手

Jennifer Tilly led the pack in episode 31 of "Hellmuth's Home Game" with a profit of 8,875 (1TP 4T), beating Phil Hellmuth, Shaun Deeb, and Erick Lindgren. Dan Cates was the biggest winner of the night with a profit of 19,500 (1TP 4T).

Hellmuth's Home Game, produced by Poker Night in America (PNIA) and sponsored by BetRivers, will air again on CBS Sports on Monday nights.

This national television program, filmed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, is unique in that it has no commentators whatsoever. Instead, it features Phil Hellmuth engaging in tableside conversations with a group of pros and friends in a relaxed and intimate cash game setting.

PokerNews watched episode 31 and compiled recaps of some of the biggest pots and interesting storylines.

Here is the chip situation at the beginning of this episode:

The game was played with blinds of $25/$50 and a big blind of $50. Below are recaps of some of the best hands in this episode.

Lindgren chose the wrong time and went all in.

Jennifer Tilly raised to $300 from the hijack position with 8♦7♥, and Erick Lindgren called from the button with A♠10♣. Daniel "Jungleman" Cates, holding A♣J♣ in the small blind, 3-bet to $1,500.

Tilly folded, and Lindgren went all-in with $4,975. Cates instantly called, creating a pot of $10,450. Lindgren was under pressure, and both players agreed to run twice. Unfortunately, the first board ran out K♠4♥9♠J♦7♦, and the second board ran out K♥6♠2♥5♦3♣, neither of which helped Lindgren.

Cates won the pot, and Lindgren had to re-buy.

Hellmuth was defeated by a straight.

In the 8th hand of the game, Hellmuth raised to $300 from the close position with A♠J♥. Cates 3-bet to $750 from the small blind with K♣J♣, and Shaun Deeb 4-bet to $2,100 from the chip stack with 7♦5♦.

Hellmuth called all in with $2,025, and Cates called as well, leaving $6,325 in the main pot. Cates and Deeb both checked on the flop of 10♥8♠3♦ and the turn of 6♣, and the river of 9♥ gave Deeb a straight. He bet $2,000 after Cates checked, and Deeb folded.

Deeb revealed his straight, and Hellmuth, who had been leading until the river, had to re-buy.

Tilly faced off against Deeb.

Xuan Liu raised to $250 from the button with 6♥5♦, and Deeb called from the small blind with A♣J♣. Tilly joined from the big blind with K♠9♣, creating a three-way pot. The flop came 9♠3♦J♦.

Deeb checked with top pair, Tilly bet $400 with middle pair, and Xuan conceded. Deeb check-raised to $1,300, Tilly called, and the turn was a 7♠. Deeb bet $3,000, Tilly quickly called, and she improved to two pair on the river with a K♦.

Deeb checks, and Tilly calls with a bet of $4,000. Tilly shows her two pair, and Deeb can only shake his head as he watches the pot of $17,500 being pushed into his opponent's hands.

Tilly doesn't care about pairs.

Xuan Liu raised to $250 from the button with Q♠Q♦, and Tilly called from the big blind with Q♣7♣. Erick Lindgren 3-bet to $1,200 from the stack with 9♠9♦, leaving $1,650 behind him. Xuan and Tilly both called, and the flop came 10♥8♣3♣.

Tilly leads with a flush draw, betting $2,000. Lindgren calls all in. Xuan calls, creating a small side pot. The turn is a 5♣. Tilly slyly checks her club flush, and Xuan checks behind her. The river is a J♦.

Tilly bet modestly $2,500, and Xuan said, "I can call," and then called.

"I was too greedy. Why didn't I raise?" Xuan said regretfully as he watched the pot of $14,325 being pushed to his opponent.

Flush against Flush

In the final hand of this episode (hand 43), Xuan, in the hijack position, raised to $250 with A♣J♣, and Tilly called from the button with 10♣8♣. Cates, from the stack, called an additional $150 with J♦7♥, creating a three-way pot. The flop came Q♥6♣4♣.

Cates checked, Xuan bet $350 with a nut flush draw, Tilly called with a weaker flush draw. Cates conceded, and the turn card was a 10♥. Xuan bet $1,500, Tilly took the lead with 10 pair and simply called, the river card Q♣ giving both players a flush.

Xuan, holding a better flush, checked to Tilly, who bet $2,500. Xuan then check-raised to $8,000.

"Oh my god. Do you have a flush? Or a full house?" Tilly asked before calling. Xuan then won a pot worth $20,575.
