Hellmuth Helps Himself to More Chips

Phil Hellmuth on Day 3
Phil Hellmuth on Day 3
Evelyn Ng raised to 21,000 and Phil Hellmuth called in the big blind. The flop came {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} and Hellmuth check-called Ng's 36,000 bet. He check-called again when Evelyn bet 55,000 after the {3-Diamonds} came on the turn, and he check-called again when Ng bet 80,000 when the {4-Diamonds} fell on the river. Ng showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} and Hellmuth flipped over his {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} for top pair to take down a huge pot. He's now back up to 432,000 while Ng fell to 228,000.
