Hellmuth Chipping Away
Level 22
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Phil Hellmuth has won a couple of pots recently, which improves his situation dramatically.
Most recently, Alexander Lakhov opened to 6,100 on the button, with James Worth calling from the small and Hellmuth calling from the big blinds.
There was no betting on the 
flop. On the 
turn there was another check from Worth and Hellmuth made it 9,000 to proceed. Both of his opponents folded and he took it down.
