Hellmuth and His Sixes

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

From under the gun, Matthew Chang limped in. Phil Hellmuth limped from the next seat and then Matthew Davidson limped from middle position. Derwin Ward raised to 1,650 from the hijack and everyone folded back around to Hellmuth. He called and Davidson called.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Hellmuth led for 1,400. Davidson folded and Ward made the call.

The turn card was the {7-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {5-Diamonds} fall on the river. Hellmuth bet 700 and Ward raised to 2,700. Hellmuth quickly called.

"I got nothing," said Ward before Hellmuth tabled the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Ward then mucked and Hellmuth won the pot to move to 25,000 in chips.

"Now we're playing the game, baby!" said an excited Hellmuth after the hand.
