Hellmuth Still in the Hunt

Shamus

That table from earlier at which sat Phil Hellmuth, David Singer, Vanessa Rousso, and Jeff Madsen has been broken and the players sent to different places around the Amazon.

Hellmuth and Madsen ended up at adjacent tables. Recently Hellmuth was in a hand in which a player under the gun had raised to 2,200, then it folded to Hellmuth in the BB who reraised to 6,000. His opponent pushed all in, and Hellmuth called, his opponent having him covered.

Hellmuth showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

, and was up against {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. The board came {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

, and Hellmuth doubled back to 32,500.

"Look out, Madsen!" the Poker Brat called across the aisle.
