Hellmuth Rakes in Another Pot

[user75032]

An unusually quiet hand for Phil Hellmuth. Sitting in the small blind, he called a raise to 30,000 from the player with the button, Cort Kibler-Melby. Both players checked the {3-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} flop. On the turn {A-Hearts}, Hellmuth took a stab with a bet of 62,000, but Kibler-Melby raised him to 124,000. Hellmuth called.

On the river {9-Spades}, Hellmuth fired again for 200,000. Kibler-Melby made a crying call to see Hellmuth turn over {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs} for a full house, threes full of nines. His chip stack has increased to about 1,140,000.
