Hellmuth Back in Black
Late registration has closed, and it wasn't long after we returned from break that we saw that 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, as usual clad in black from head to toe, had joined the party. Soon after his arrival was moved to a new table... Black #1, fittingly.
Immediately after his arrival at the table, Hellmuth became involved in a three-way hand. After the trio had built a small pot preflop, the flop came 
. It checked to Hellmuth who bet 1,500, and the player sitting to his left raised to 4,050. The third player folded, and Hellmuth called the raise.
Both players then checked the 
turn and 
river. Hellmuth tabled 
for sevens and fours, and his opponent mucked. "I should have pushed the flop," said Hellmuth afterwards as he gathered his chips. Despite the late start, he's already built up to 28,000.
