Hellmuth Runs Good

Hold'em:

In a five-way limped pot, the flop is {4-Diamonds}

. The under the gun player bets and an early position player raises. Phil Hellmuth smooth calls and the UTG also calls.

The turn is {9-Clubs}

and UTG checks. EP bets and Hellmuth raises. UTG calls and EP reraises. Hellmuth calls and UTG calls again.

The river is {3-Spades}

and UTG checks. EP bets. Hellmuth raises and UTG folds. EP calls and shows a J, but Hellmuth has {4-Clubs}

for a set.

He then told us that he hit three sets in this round of Hold'em alone. He's up to 43,000 and appears to be the chip leader.
