Hellmuth Takes One

Chris Vaughn raised from middle position, Phil Hellmuth called from the button, and both blinds called as well. The flop came {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and all four checked. The turn was the {J-Clubs}, and all checked to Hellmuth, who bet 2,200. The small blind called and the other two folded. The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and both checked.

Hellmuth showed {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for top pair, top kicker. His opponent showed {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Hellmuth took the pot. He's up to around 18,700 at the moment.
