The Phil Hellmuth show is back in town ladies and gentlemen and sparks are already flying over at Table 70 where he tangled in a pot with Terry Bailey.

On a flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

, Hellmuth bet 10,000 and Bailey called. Both players checked the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

on the turn but when the river fell the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

, Bailey raised Hellmuth's 11,000 bet to 25,000.

"It's too early to be taking bad beats in this tourney!" spat Hellmuth as he stood up from his seat. After a bit more hemming and hawing, he decided to call... and it was a good one.

Bailey showed {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

for a bluff with nothing but a pair of sixes, while Hellmuth took down the pot with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}
