"I'm Here to Win!"

Weeee!
Weeee!
As mentioned before, Phil Hellmuth has made his way into the blue section here in the Amazon room. He hasn't wasted any time taking control of the table.

After "donking off 100,000" to Josh Arieh while "drawing dead" according to Hellmuth, he punished four limpers by raising to 20,000 total. Everyone folded and Hellmuth showed {Q-Clubs} {5-Hearts}, "I'm here to win," he announced.

A few hands later, Hellmuth called a 5,000 chip raise from the cut-off. The flop fell {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}. The original raiser led out 11,000, Hellmuth raised to 24,000 total. "I'll show ya buddy," he said after the raise. The raiser folded and Hellmuth showed {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for just a gutshot straight draw.

The very next hand after that, Hellmuth raised it up to 5,000. The whole table folded and he showed the {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}.

"Ok, that's my last bluff."

Andy Black strolled by right after and added, "Interesting table."

"I just bluffed four hands in a row after I donked off 100,000 to Josh (Arieh) drawing dead," replied Hellmuth

Will he tighten back up? Who can say, but stick around and we'll see! Hellmuth currently has 320,000 in chips.
