Hellmuth Takes the Chip Lead
Level 25
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Not too long ago, Phil Hellmuth had 15 big blinds left in this level but now he has over 45. In the last pot that contributed to his upward trend, Hellmuth called the small blind and Alexander Lakhov checked his option. The dealer put out 
on the flop. When Hellmuth checked, Lakhov bet 7,000.
The 
turn saw a change of strategy for Hellmuth, who opted to lead for 22,000, which Lakhov called. The 
completed the board and this time Hellmuth put 27,000 over the line and Lakhov matched it.
Phil Hellmuth showed trip tens with 
and collected a very decent pot.
