Small Hit to Hellmuth

Action folded to Phil Hellmuth on the button and he raised to 725. The players in the blinds both called to see a {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop.

All three players checked through to the {6-Spades} turn and the player in the small blind checked. The big blind bet 1,100, Hellmuth min-raised to 2,200, and the small blind ducked out of the way. The player in the big blind called and quickly checked the {J-Diamonds} river. Hellmuth checked, too, and was shown {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} by his opponent.

Hellmuth mucked and slipped to about 25,000 in the process.
