Hellmuth Returns

Finally Phil Hellmuth has returned, and within a few hands he was into the action.

With a limp under the gun, Hellmuth limped as well with the blinds completing.

The flop fell down {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the limper bet out 200. Hellmuth paused for a while before announcing a raise to 450 and tossing in a 500-denomination chip.

With the action now on the small blind he raised to 1,400 to force folds round the table. As Hellmuth went to fold, his {K-Spades}{2-Spades} flipped up.

"I had you beat!" he stated to the first preflop aggressor.

"No! I had an Ace" he stated as Hellmuth slipped to 2,000 in chips.
