Phil Hellmuth

A late-position player comes in raising Phil Hellmuth's big blind, making it 12,000 to stay in. The small blind ducks out, but Hellmuth comes along to the flop.

It rolls out {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

, and both men check. The turn brings the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

. Hellmuth fires out 14,000 chips, and his opponent makes the call. The river is the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

, and again both players check.

Hellmuth says, "Queen high," and his opponent tables the winning {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. Hellmuth decides it's time for another little speech, and we catch a few parts of it. "Now I'm getting action...called by ace high...can't wait till I pick up a hand." Hellmuth's count now stands at 490,000.
