If You're Going Through Hellmuth, Keep on Going

An under-the-gun player raised and was called by Phil Hellmuth in middle position. When the flop fell {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}, the UTG bet, Hellmuth called, and the dealer burned and turned the {4-Hearts}. Once again the UTG led out, but this time Hellmuth threw in a raise. The UTG thought for a moment before making the call, subsequently checking the {A-Spades} river.

Hellmuth took the opportunity to fire at it one more time, which proved enough to take down the pot without a showdown. Hellmuth, who lost much of his stack early, is back up to around 23,000.
