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 against Thiago Nishijima's .
"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 and Hellmuth retained his lead with his ace-high. The on the turn changed nothing but the 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.
