Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth has just won another pot, helping him to close the gap even further between his opponents.

Alexander Lakhov opened 7,000 on the button and Hellmuth peeled from the big blind.

The board came {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Hellmuth check-called all three streets to the tune of 5,000, 15,500 and 27,000.

After the last call, Lakhov said "good call" and mucked, leaving Hellmuth to collect the chips with {q-}{9-}.
