One of the Featured Tables

Table 30 has turned into quite an interesting table to watch, with more-established pros Phil Hellmuth and David Chiu at opposite ends of the table, and young guns Eddy Sabat and Hevad Khan in between them on either side. Chiu got the best of Sabat in a recent hand. Hellmuth started things off by making a minimum-raise to 800 from under the gun. Sabat called before Chiu raised from late position to 3,200, folding all players back to Hellmuth.

Hellmuth absent-mindedly riffled chips while he considered his action but ultimately decided to look for a better spot. Sabat took his chances against Chiu and called to a flop of {k-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. He then checked to Chiu, who fired out 5,100. Sabat had roughly 18,000 in his stack; he mucked after a minute's thought.

Chiu now has approximately 50,000 chips.
