Hellmuth Fires Second Bullet

Level 5 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth has been on the shorter end of the chip stacks for most of this match and recently got it all in for his first bullet holding {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} against Thiago Nishijima's {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

"Put a jack out there," said Nishijima.

"You really think you deserve a jack after all of the cards you've been catching on me?" retorted Hellmuth.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Hellmuth retained his lead with his ace-high. The {4-Spades} on the turn changed nothing but the {J-Diamonds} on the river gave Nishijima the victory, forcing Hellmuth to dip into his second bullet.

"It was a race," said Nishijima after the hand.

"To YOU it's just a race," replied Hellmuth as he stacked the chips from his second bullet. The 13-time bracelet holder still has one lammer left behind.
