Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Phil Hellmuth's day has been very interesting so far, as he 13-time bracelet winner's off to a great start.

Just now we saw three-handed action on fifth street when Bryn Kenney bet and Gary Benson folded. Hellmuth called and on sixth street, Kenney bet again and Hellmuth called. On seventh street both players checked.

Hellmuth: / /
Kenney: / /

"Two pair," Hellmuth announced and he tabled for fours and fives.

Kenney flashed and threw his hands towards the muck.
