Hellmuth Up There

Phil Hellmuth is now in contention for the chip lead -- he's up to 32,000.

A raising war on the {A-Spades} {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} flop led Hellmuth and his opponent to see a {K-Diamonds} turn. Hellmuth bet out and then called a raise, and then bet out on the {9-Hearts} river. His opponent called but soon mucked -- Hellmuth turned over {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} for a turned set.
