$\""You$ In episode 25 of "Hellmuth's Home Game," Kelly Lucas slow-switched Phil Hellmuth's pocket Aces with three sixes, delivering a brutal slow-switch performance on national television. Hellmuth accepted it with a smile, saying, "You really deserve it."<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Every Monday night, "Hellmuth's Home Game," produced by Poker Night in America (PNIA) and sponsored by BetRivers, airs on CBS Sports.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
This nationally broadcast show was filmed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada.

In the first hand of this episode, Randy \u201c3Coin\u201d Sadler raised from early position with J\u26639\u2666.\u00a0<\/span> $125, the action folded all the way to Mike Matusow in the big blind. Matusow had A\u2666K\u2663 and raised three times to...<\/span>125<\/span>The action continued, folding all the way to the big blind.<\/span>M<\/span>ik<\/span>e<\/span>M<\/span>a<\/span>t<\/span>u<\/span>so<\/span>w<\/span>\u3002<\/span>M<\/span>a<\/span>t<\/span>u<\/span>so<\/span>w<\/span>Get it<\/span>A<\/span>\u2666<\/span>K<\/span>\u2663<\/span>And added three times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>625, 3Coin called, and the flop came: 3\u26665\u2660A\u2660.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Matusow continues betting with top pairs\u00a0<\/span> $3Coin, with a weak hand, called at 700 and saw a 9\u2663 on the turn. Matusow went all-in, and 3Coin, having hit a pair, quickly used his remaining points.<\/span>700<\/span>There are no big brands.<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>Call and see the turn card<\/span>9\u2663<\/span>\u3002<\/span>M<\/span>a<\/span>t<\/span>u<\/span>so<\/span>w<\/span>All in, hit a pair<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>It didn't take too long to use what was left.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Call with 3,375 chips.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
3Coin needed to hit the river card to win the $9,475 pot, but unfortunately, the river card was an insignificant 10\u2665.<\/span><\/p>
Can Kelly hold on?
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
In the 12th hand of the game, Matusow raised from the clutch position with 2\u26602\u2665.\u00a0<\/span> $300,3Coin triple-raised from the small blind with 7\u26636\u2660 to<\/span>300<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>3<\/span>C<\/span>o<\/span>in<\/span>In the small blind position<\/span>7\u26636\u2660<\/span>Three times added to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>700. Kelly Lucas limped in from the big blind with 5\u26634\u2663, Matusow called, and the three of them went to the flop: J\u266310\u26634\u2665. Everyone checked.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
3Coin led out with a straight and flush draw on the turn 3\u2663.\u00a0<\/span> $With 700, Kelly had already formed a flush on the turn and went all in.<\/span>700<\/span>,and<\/span>Ke<\/span>ll<\/span>y<\/span>She had already formed a flush on the turn and went all in.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>5,875. Matusow folded, and 3Coin called, creating a pot of $14,000. He still had a chance to make a bigger flush with clubs, but the river card really dropped a K\u2663.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
"Wow, that's a really bad beat," Hellmuth commented.<\/span><\/p>
Two generations of Hellmuth face risks in a three-way all-in bet.

Phillip \u201cP3\u201d Hellmuth III got K\u2660K\u2663 from the gun position and raised to\u00a0<\/span> $200. KaneKalas called with 8\u26657\u2665 from the shutout, and Kelly called with J\u26607\u2660 from the button. DJWashburn then triple-raised from the small blind with A\u2665Q\u2663.<\/span>200<\/span>\u3002<\/span>K<\/span>an<\/span>eK<\/span>a<\/span>l<\/span>a<\/span>s<\/span>In the position of the inauspicious star<\/span>8\u26657\u2665<\/span>Call,<\/span>Ke<\/span>ll<\/span>y<\/span>In the button position<\/span>J<\/span>\u26607\u2660<\/span>Call.

His son P3 used\u00a0<\/span> $Kalas and Kelly both folded to a call of 2,050. Washburn called the additional bet.<\/span>2<\/span>,<\/span>050<\/span>Call,<\/span>K<\/span>a<\/span>l<\/span>a<\/span>s<\/span>and<\/span>Ke<\/span>ll<\/span>y<\/span>They all folded.<\/span>Wa<\/span>s<\/span>hb<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span>n<\/span>Call extra<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>925 put both Hellmuth players at risk. They let P3 choose, and he decided to deal twice. The first community card, 10\u2665J\u26665\u2663J\u26652\u2665, locked half the pot for P3, while the second, 10\u26663\u26659\u26659\u26633\u2660, emptied the entire pot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
"Gorjess" hand<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
A new player named "Gorjess" limped in the under-the-gun position with A\u2665J\u2665, and DJ Washburn raised to $250 from the hijack position with J\u266610\u2660. Another new player, Mallory, limped in the button with K\u26652\u2665, and Gorjess called, bringing the three players to the flop: 7\u2666J\u26609\u2663.<\/span><\/p>
Gorjess checks, Washburn continues betting.\u00a0<\/span> $425, Mallory folds. Gorjess calls, then checks on the turn A\u2660. Washburn bets again, this time...<\/span>425<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>M<\/span>a<\/span>ll<\/span>ory<\/span>Fold.<\/span>G<\/span>or<\/span>j<\/span>ess<\/span>Call, then on the turn<\/span>A<\/span>\u2660<\/span>Time has passed.<\/span>Wa<\/span>s<\/span>hb<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span>n<\/span>Place another bet, this time it is<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Gorjess check-raised with top two pair and went all-in with $3,975.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Washburn hesitated for a long time before deciding to call; he needed an 8 to make a straight. However, things didn't go as planned, as the river card, Q\u2666, was invalid, and Gorjess successfully doubled up, winning a pot of $6,500.<\/span><\/p>
Deal two cards<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
Kane Kalas raised to the small blind with K\u2665Q\u2666.\u00a0<\/span> $675, DJWashburn (doubled down)<\/span>675<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>D<\/span>J<\/span>Wa<\/span>s<\/span>hb<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span>n<\/span>(Double bets have been won)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Kalas called with 7\u26656\u2665. The flop came K\u26604\u26658\u2665, giving Kalas top pair, and he continued betting.\u00a0<\/span>1,050, Washburn raised to 1,050 with his straight flush draw.<\/span>1<\/span>,<\/span>050<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>Wa<\/span>s<\/span>hb<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span>n<\/span>He raised to his flush draw.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>3,600.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
The turn card, Jack, gave Kalas a flush. After Kalas checked, he...\u00a0<\/span> $All in the pot of 8,750<\/span>8<\/span>,<\/span>750<\/span>All in the pot<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>7,225. The latter thought for a moment before calling, forming a pot of $23,200.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Both players agreed to deal two cards, and Kalas needed a heart to make a bigger flush. Unfortunately, neither the first A\u2660 nor the second 3\u2660 helped him, and Washburn won the biggest pot of the day.<\/span><\/p>
Cruel slow play
$\"\"$
<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>
DJ Washburn opened from early position and raised to [number missing].\u00a0<\/span> $250, Hellmuth raised three times to A\u2660A\u2665 at the next stop.<\/span>250<\/span>\uff0c<\/span>He<\/span>ll<\/span>m<\/span>u<\/span>t<\/span>h<\/span>In the next one<\/span>A<\/span>\u2660<\/span>A<\/span>\u2665<\/span>Three times added to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>600. It was Kelly Lucas's turn to act, and she called $500 with 6\u26634\u2663. Washburn also called, and the three entered the flop: 10\u26666\u26606\u2665.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
Kelly and Washburn both checked to Hellmuth in the blinds, and Hellmuth bet.\u00a0<\/span> $Kelly checked and raised to 600 with three sixes.<\/span>600<\/span>\u3002<\/span>Ke<\/span>ll<\/span>y<\/span>With three<\/span>6<\/span>Check-raise to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>2,000, Washburn folds, Hellmuth goes all in with $4,750.<\/span><\/span><\/p>$
"What cards might you have?" Kelly asked.<\/span><\/p>
"Four 6s. Can you beat it?" Hellmuth replied.<\/span><\/p>
Kelly asked about the chip count and took some time before deciding to call.<\/span><\/p>
"Send it twice," Hellmuth said. "I got it, Kelly."<\/span><\/p>
"Really?" Kelly asked.<\/span><\/p>
"It's an A," Hellmuth said, revealing an Ace from his pocket.<\/span><\/p>
"Oh my goodness," Kelly sighed in relief, then took a moment to turn over her cards one by one. The others at the table responded with enthusiastic laughter to the slow play, while Hellmuth smiled and accepted it, saying he deserved to lose and that he wished he had hit an Ace.<\/span><\/p>
"You really deserve it," Kelly admitted.<\/span><\/p>
Hellmuth had two chances to draw an Ace, but unfortunately, the first turn card was a 4\u2665 and the river card was an 8\u2666, and the second card was a K\u2660 and a 10\u2663, neither of which helped him. Thus, Kelly won the pot of $11,425.<\/span><\/p>
