Just Another Day for Hellmuth

[user38368]

Phil Hellmuth, after playing many pots in level 1 (ten in a row during one stretch), has sat back during level 2--mostly because he is eating a sub sandwich and reading the newspaper.

Hellmuth Needs Help

Shamus

Our reporter came upon a hand developing between John Juanda and Phil Hellmuth.

On a board of {A-Clubs}

with 3,000 in the middle, Juanda bet 2,250, and Hellmuth took a moment to decide. Much to our reporter's surprise, Hellmuth asked him what he thought he should do. "It's a tough one," said the reporter, maintaining an appropriately neutral stance.

Hellmuth thought a while longer, then folded, saying he was letting go two pair. "It could be a quick day," he exhaled.
