Hellmuth Continues to Trend Upwards
Level 12
Badacey
Phil Hellmuth started the day with a mere 9,000 in chips but has since added a zero to his total as he nearly closed the gap to Christopher Claassen and is even with Frank Crivello on his table.
The last hand before the break brought a split pot between Crivello and Hellmuth when the 8♣ / 7♦5♣4♠3♥ of Crivello earned half a pot with the superior Badugi, while Hellmuth with the 3♦ / 7♠6♣5♥A♦ narrowly missed out on the scoop.
