Hellmuth Holds

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in middle position opened to 800, another player on the button three-bet to 2,200, and Phil Hellmuth cold-called from the small blind. The original raiser came along for the ride, and the dealer fanned {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}. Hellmuth led out for 2,000, and only the original raiser called.

Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} on the turn, and the {6-Clubs} on the river. Hellmuth opened up {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a pair of threes, they were good, and the Poker Brat was awarded the pot.
