Hellmuth Gets Squeezed

Scott Vener was under the gun and moved all in for 15,000. Phil Hellmuth raised to 35,000 on the button and Keith Lehr reraised to 114,000 from the small blind.

"Give it up if you wanna get number twelve," Lehr said, "You'll have to draw out."

After thinking for a moment, Hellmuth folded and Lehr turned over {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Vener flipped over {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Hellmuth exclaimed that he would have made a set of threes. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Vener needed help on the river. Lucky for him, the {6-Clubs} showed up giving him the best hand. He now has a stack of 55,000.
