Phil Hellmuth Shows the Goods

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

Steffen Sontheimer raised the button to 90,000 holding the {k-Spades}{3-Spades} and then called when Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 220,000 with the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} in the small blind.

Both players checked the {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop and then Hellmuth, who had top pair with a club draw, bet a paltry 75,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn.

Hellmuth made the flush on the {8-Clubs} river and bet 140,000, which left him just 35,000 back. Sontheimer quickly folded.

Hellmuth then showed the table his hand.
