Episode 29 of Hellmuth’s Home Game, presented by Poker Night in America and sponsored by BetRivers, continued its run on CBS Sports Monday nights. Filmed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, the cash game show features table talk from Phil Hellmuth and a rotating cast of pros and celebrities instead of traditional commentary.
The action was played at $25/$50 blinds with a $50 big blind ante. Early on, Hellmuth and Jennifer Tilly got into a preflop raising war that ended with a $10,225 pot. Hellmuth’s jacks were well ahead of Tilly’s tens, and the pair agreed to run the board twice, ultimately splitting the pot after a case ten appeared on one runout alongside a jack.
Tilly later outplayed Hellmuth in a three-way pot that also involved Erick Lindgren. After calling multiple bets with trip threes and then a straight flush draw, Tilly’s river bet induced a curious call from Hellmuth’s king-high, sending her a $7,475 pot.
Hellmuth found redemption against Shaun Deeb, moving all in preflop with ace-queen against Deeb’s pocket tens. A flop containing both an ace and a queen sealed a double-up worth $4,800 for Hellmuth.
Tilly struck again in a hand against Dan “Jungleman” Cates, turning a flush draw into a made hand by the river. Her check-raise induced a costly bluff-catching bet from Cates, who was left with seven-high, dropping a $17,475 pot.
The largest pot of the episode came in the final hand, where Cates’ kings held up against Deeb’s pair of sevens after the board paired on the river. Deeb called Cates’ all-in river bet but was denied, handing over a massive $46,350 pot. Also seated at the table were Nick Hellmuth and Lindgren.
