Hellmuth's Hand

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth and the player across the table from him tangled up in a preflop raising war. It looked like Hellmuth had opened, and the short-stacked player three-bet all in for an additional 9,200. When it came back to The Brat, he tanked for a while before splashing the call into the pot.

At showdown, the shorty had Hellmuth's hand, {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}, and he was racing for his tournament life against the {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} of The Brat.

The {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} flop missed Hellmuth, but the {J-Diamonds} turn certainly didn't. The at-risk player couldn't find his two-outer on the {4-Hearts} river, and Hellmuth has claimed another victim to move to about 47,000.
