Phil Hellmuth Wins a Hand

After being moved into the Amazon Room, Phil Hellmuth took little time before playing a hand.

He raised to 600 preflop from the cutoff and got called by the big blind. Both players checked the flop of {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades} and the big blind bet 800 when the {J-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Hellmuth raised to 2,300 leaving himself 3,600 behind.

After a short time in the tank, the big blind mucked. Hellmuth now has about 9,500.
