Jennifer Tilly Headlines Hellmuth’s Home Game Episode 30
The latest clip shows her winning the biggest pots against Jungleman and Shaun Deeb in the Reno cash game.
Hellmuth’s Home Game episode 30 centered on Jennifer Tilly. By the end of the session, she had tangled with Jungleman, Phil Hellmuth, Shaun Deeb, Xuan Liu and Erick Lindgren in a series of high-stakes pots, and she finished as the game’s biggest winner by a wide margin.
According to PokerNews, the episode aired as part of Hellmuth’s Home Game on CBS Sports Monday nights. The show is presented by Poker Night in America, sponsored by BetRivers, filmed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, and built around table talk rather than commentary, with Hellmuth and the guests carrying the action in a relaxed cash-game setting.
The first big pot started with Dan “Jungleman” Cates raising to $150 from the cutoff with A♠K♦. Tilly three-bet to $500 from the big blind with A♥Q♦, Cates made it $1,500, and Tilly called after saying, “I don’t want to go crazy.” On a flop of 9♦A♣J♥ and a turn of 10♦, she check-called $1,300 and then another $3,000 before Cates fired $12,500 on the 6♥ river. Cates won the $36,675 pot with top pair and top kicker after Tilly called.
A later hand tagged as “Tilly Kicks Deeb” had Phil Hellmuth open to $300 with 10♠9♠, Tilly call from the cutoff with K♠J♣, and Deeb three-bet to $1,200 with K♣10♣. After a flop of 7♦5♣K♥ and a Q♦ turn, Tilly raised to $10,000 over Deeb’s $3,000 bet, Deeb moved all-in, and she called off her last $6,700 to build a $39,000 pot. The hand ran once, and the 9♦ river was a brick for Deeb.
The final big hand was even bigger. Erick Lindgren raised to $1,200 with J♥J♣, Deeb three-bet to $4,000 with 10♥10♦, and Tilly four-bet to $10,000 from the straddle with A♠A♦. After Deeb checked, Tilly bet $10,000, Deeb check-jammed for $23,400, and Tilly snap-called to create a $68,400 pot. Deeb wanted to run it just once, but the turn came 4♦ and the river 5♠. By the end of the hand, her stack had climbed into six-figure territory, and she was the game’s biggest winner by a large margin.
