Sass Takes Most of Hellmuth's Stack

Before the flop, Alan Sass raised to 5,500, Phil Hellmuth reraised to 15,000, and Sass made the call.

The flop came {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Sass led out for 19,400, and Hellmuth called. The turn was the {K-Hearts}. This time Sass checked, Hellmuth bet 35,000, and Sass called.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}. Sass checked, and Hellmuth bet 183,000, more than enough to put Sass all in for his remaining 153,000 chips. Sass thought for about three minutes, then made the call.

"You got it," said Hellmuth. Sass turned over {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of kings, and Hellmuth mucked. Sass is now up to 450,000, while the Poker Brat has tumbled all of the way down to 37,000.
