Holding A♦Q♦ on the button, Phil Hellmuth plays a heads-up pot against Alex before picking up the ace-high flush draw and a double gutshot straight draw on the turn. Jonathan analyzes Phil's pre-flop strategy, flop check-back, why players should rarely raise against large turn bets in position, and how GTO poker strategy approaches this type of high-stakes cash game spot. Then one of the most dangerous river cards imaginable hits the board. With four diamonds showing and massive hands possible, Phil faces a brutal river decision after raising for value and being re-raised. Is his nut flush simply too strong to get away from, or can Phil figure out exactly what his opponent is representing? Can you make the right decision in Phil Hellmuth's shoes?
