Phil Hellmuth had been the short stack for a while but after the last hand, he is not anymore. After a 3,500 open from Nikolai Sears, James Worth, Phil Hellmuth and Jack Shea all came along to see a flop.

The dealer put out and it was checked all round. It was the turned that generated the action though. After three checks, Hellmuth put 7,000 over the line and Shea upped it to 17,000. This got everyone else out of the way and Hellmuth moved all-in for just 8,400 more. It was a snap-call from Shea and they turned their cards on their backs.

Phil Hellmuth:
Jack Shea:

There were just two outs to pull this one back for Shea and but the river was safe for Hellmuth and he collected. This left Shea the shortest at the table.

Hellmuth Pulls a Little Back

LisaY

Level 18 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The last few hands have been opened from under-the-gun and in the most recent, it was Thomas Taylor who started the ball rolling with a raise to 2,500. He found two calls from the blinds, from HHellmuth in the small and Shea in the big.

The flop came and it was checked all round. The turn saw a 6,000 lead from Hellmuth and it netted him the pot. "What, you didn't have ace-king?" He asked as he scooped the chips.
