Hellmuth on the March

With the board showing {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and 125,000 already in the pot, Phil Hellmuth pushed all in with his last 135,000 and was called by Sarkis Akopyan.

Hellmuth turned over {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for trip fives, and Akopyan showed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

The river was the {Q-Spades}, and Hellmuth is back up to 320,000. Akopyan has 525,000.
