Phil Hellmuth dragged a nice pot to start play back from the dinner break. With the board showing {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{K-Spades}

, Hellmuth bet 4,500 and was called by Matt Vengrin. The river brought the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

and an 8,000-chip bet from Hellmuth. Vengrin called again, and then mucked when Hellmuth showed him {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

for trip kings.

Hellmuth is now just shy of 200,000. Vengrin has slipped to 31,000.
