Phil Hellmuth Chipping Up

He arrived late and lost the first hand he played, but Phil Hellmuth has steadily built up his stack since the rebuy period ended. He just won a big pot when, on a board reading {5-Spades} {6-Spades} {9-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, Hellmuth bet 4,800 and was called. He showed {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} and scooped in the pot. He's now up over 30,000 in chips.
