Hellmuth Still Hungry for Chips

Phil Hellmuth dragged a nice pot to start play back from the dinner break. With the board showing {6-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades}, Hellmuth bet 4,500 and was called by Matt Vengrin. The river brought the {9-Hearts} and an 8,000-chip bet from Hellmuth. Vengrin called again, and then mucked when Hellmuth showed him {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} for trip kings.

Hellmuth is now just shy of 200,000. Vengrin has slipped to 31,000.
