Hellmuth Avoids Disaster by Just Calling a Three-Bet

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

(Post took place during 600/1,200 blind levels on the PokerGO stream, which is on a 45-minute delay)

Phil Hellmuth raised under the gun to 2,500 with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}, but ran into the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Simon Burns, who three-bet to 7,500.

Action folded back to the "Poker Brat," who quickly called. The flop was {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Hellmuth checked and Burns continued for 3,500, which convinced the 1989 Main Event winner to fold.
