The Hellmuth Comeback Train Starts Chuggin' Along
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
A player was on the button and he raised. Amnon Filippi called from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth took a pause before announcing his decision.
"What's the next game?" Hellmuth asked. It was revealed to be no-limit hold'em before Hellmuth called.
On the first draw, Filippi took three, as did Hellmuth, and the button took two. Filippi then checked to Hellmuth who bet.
"You're betting Phil?" the button asked. "I raise."
The button raised and Filippi called. Hellmuth put in the last of his chips, for 1,100 total.
"Somebody give me some more money, please," Hellmuth said after looking at his hand.
On the second draw, Filippi took two while Hellmuth took one and the button took one. Filippi then check-folded to a bet from the button.
Hellmuth pitched in one card and the button decided to stand pat revealing 
. Hellmuth showed and sweated his last card.
"Ooo," he said. "We're even."
He then turned up his last card, revealing the 
and putting it in its place in his hand.
"And that boys," Hellmuth said, "is called the wheel."
With that, Hellmuth tripled up to right around 4,800.
