Hellmuth Adds to Stack
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth returned from break with 1,300,000 in front of him and the 16-time WSOP bracelet winner didn’t waste time getting it in.
Hellmuth moved all in from under the gun, and action folded around to a player in the small blind, who was down to 325,000 and called. The cards were tabled after the big blind folded.
Hellmuth: A♥J♦
Opponent: 4♣4♥
The dealer fanned J♣Q♠J♥ on the flop, giving Hellmuth trips and leaving his opponent in a bad spot needing lots of help by the river. The help didn’t arrive, though, as 2♦ on the turn and 3♣ on the river game Hellmuth the pot.
Nevertheless, the 325,000 and 400,000 combined from the big blind and ante added chips to Hellmuth’s stack.
