They're Folding to Phil

Avi Mukherjee raised to 2,200 from early position, and it folded around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind who reraised to 8,200. The big blind folded, and Mukherjee made the call.

The flop came {9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds}. Hellmuth reached for his chips, then tapped the felt. Mukherjee checked as well.

The river was the {Q-Spades}. Hellmuth wasted little time firing out a bet of 7,000, and Mukherjee folded.

On the next hand, Hellmuth opened with a button raise and claimed the blinds and antes. Hellmuth is up to 145,000 now.
