Level 6
: 150/300, 50 ante
Phil Hellmuth has just taken down the first round of the shootout and is the third player to do so.
It began with a min-raise by Hellmuth and a call from his opponent.
On the flop, it went check, a 900 continuation from Hellmuth, a 2,200 raise, a 4,100 three-bet by Hellmuth, and finally an all in for around 10,000, which was called.
Phil Hellmuth 
Opponent 
It was top two pair for the 14-time bracelet winner and he was in pretty good shape.
The 
turn and river bricked and Hellmuth locked up a cash and will take 65,400 through to Day 2. He finished in (almost) record time, which is quite different to the last time he played a shootout tournament, where he was one of the last to finish the day.
