Hellmuth Headed for Third Round

Level 3 : 400/800, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth made quick work of his Round 2 opponent, and the last hand of the contest speaks to Hellmuth's uncanny ability to goad other players into making mistakes.

After limping in with {A-}{7-}, Hellmuth watched his opponent jam it all-in preflop, and all-time leader in WSOP bracelets made the call. Facing {K-}{J-}, Hellmuth's ace-high was ahead, and when the final board rolled out {3-}{3-}{4-}{9-}{5-}, Hellmuth secured a ticket to the next round.
