Hellmuth Firing on All Cylinders

Phil Hellmuth showed up late today (as is his custom) but that hasn't stopped him from practically doubling his starting stack. With 8,000 chips in the pot on the river of a {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} board, Hellmuth bet 4,000. His opponent called, with what we'll never know. Hellmuth showed a flopped Broadway straight, {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, which was enough to win the hand.

Hellmuth, once again without any baseball cap or sunglasses, is up to 17,500 in chips.
