Raising Hellmuth

Shamus

Ryan Hughes raised 4,000, Phil Hellmuth reraised to 25,000, and Hughes pushed his remaining chips in the middle -- just a thousand or so more than Hellmuth's bet. Hellmuth called.

Hughes showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

, and Hellmuth {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

. The flop was {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

, putting Hughes in the lead. But the turn was the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

, giving it back to Hellmuth. The river was the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, and Hughes is out. Hellmuth is now up to 218,000.
