Result: It's a popular strategy of a tournament for larger stacks to check it down with a smaller stack in. That said, hero has a monster and doesn't want to give a chance for the pros to catch up. Hero should be around 4k. It'll let Hellmuth & the other pro he's serious without endangering his stack...they'll likely fold and the hero will win a moderately sized pot.
