Hellmuth Takes One Down, Then Loses One

A player in middle position opened up the pot to 850. The player in the cutoff made the call, along with Phil Hellmuth on the button.

Flop: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

On the flop, the preflop aggressor checked and the cutoff bet 1,000. It didn't take long for Hellmuth to raise it up to 2,500. This bet was too strong for both of his opponents as he raked in the small pot to his chip stack sit a little healthier than it was five minutes ago.

However, we turned around for just a minute or two and when we looked back at Hellmuth's table he looked a little tilted as an opponent raked in a pot against him and it was back to square one.
