Battle of the Blinds

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Action folded all the way around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind who called. The player in the big blind checked.

The flop ran out {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Hellmuth checked and his opponent bet 300. Hellmuth made the call. The turn brought the {9-Spades} and both players checked. The {10-Clubs} hit on the river and Hellmuth moved all in for his remaining 2,075. His opponent folded his cards into the muck.

Hellmuth now sits with around 4,000 in chips.
