Hellmuth Starts Steaming

Stud-8

Phil Hellmuth{x-}{x-} / {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Lyle Berman{x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}/

The {3-Spades} had the bring in and Phil Hellmuth made the call. Lyle Berman completed it and only Hellmuth called.

Berman ended up betting every street, and seventh blind. Hellmuth called every single bet and turned over {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a straight. That was no good against Berman's {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades} as he had made a full house.

Hellmuth seemed quiet at first, but eventually he bursted out and left the table for a couple of hands. Hellmuth sat down in the far corner of the tournament room for a while, but eventually he made his way back to the table. Hellmuth's short and looking to double up.
