Hellmuth Gives Some Back

Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in late position and he limped into the pot. Kelly Kim completed from the small blind and Anthony Scherer checked his big blind option.

The flop came {10-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. Action checked to Hellmuth and he led out for 65,000. Kim passed but Scherer moved all in. Hellmuth thought for about three minutes before finally folding {9-?} {9-?} face up. Scherer stacked the pot and left Hellmuth with about 600,000 chips.
