Hellmuth Waits for Better Spot

Phil Hellmuth arrived late in the afternoon, and has since built up a stack.

Recently came a hand in which three players limped, including Phil Hellmuth from the cutoff, then the player on the button pushed all in for about 16,000. All folded back to Hellmuth who asked the dealer to count out his opponent's chips. Hellmuth considered for a half-minute, then folded his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} face up.

Hellmuth is at about 40,000 at the moment.
