Hellmuth Continues to Chip Up
Level 12
: 600-1,200, 200 ante
The 
flop was contested three-way, although all three players checked it around. The big blind then checked to Hellmuth in the hijack and he bet 8,000. Kevin MacPhee folded on the button and the big blind followed suit.
"Phew!" said Hellmuth, "I'm glad nobody got stubborn, that could have been expensive!"
