Hellmuth Enters the 2014 WSOP APAC

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Phil Hellmuth, the World Series of Poker's most decorated player with 13 gold bracelets, is known for making late entrances, and the WSOP Asia-Pacific is no exception. The "Poker Brat," who flew into Melbourne earlier this afternoon, has waited until Level 6 to make his entrance.

He folded the first hand he was dealt, but in the second he opened to 400 from middle position. The button called, as did both blinds, and four players took a flop of {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Two checks saw Hellmuth continue for 400, and that cleared two of the players out of the way. However, the third proved tougher to shake as the big blind check-raised to 1,250.

"I might last two hands," Hellmuth said with a smile. "I have two queens already."

Sure enough, Hellmuth showed the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and then sent them to the muck.

"Alright, I'm easy," Hellmuth said before taking inventory of his remaining chips. "That hurt."
