Hellmuth Adds to Lead

Level 23

Hand #22

George Lind had the button to begin the hand. Action folded to Brian Rast in the cutoff seat and he raised to 125,000 to win the pot.

Hand #23

Phil Hellmuth had the button to start the hand and action folded around to him. He raised to 140,000. Scott Seiver called from the big blind and the flop came down {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Seiver led with a bet of 250,000 and Hellmuth called right away.

The turn brought the {8-Spades} to pair the board and Seiver quickly checked. Hellmuth reached for chips right away and bet 450,000. Seiver folded and Hellmuth added some more chips to his chip-leading stack.
