Good Restart for Hellmuth

Philipp Gruissem raised to 425,000 from late position and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind. Brandon Steven was in the big blind and he called as well.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn was the {K-Spades} and Hellmuth checked to Steven who bet 525,000. Gruissem tossed his cards into the muck, and Hellmuth raised it up to 1,105,000. Steven called.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and Hellmuth quickly fired out a 950,000-chip bet. Steven tanked for around two minutes, but eventually he released his cards.
