Hellmuth Gets Some Chips Back

David Salituro

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Razz

Phil Hellmuth: //
Opponent: //

Phil Hellmuth had lost more than half his stack here on Day 1, but just got a good portion of those chips back in a hand of Razz.

In a multi-way pot, a player bet on fifth street and only Hellmuth called.

Hellmuth again called on sixth before his opponent put out another bet on seventh. The 16-time bracelet winner stared down his opponent for a moment before throwing in the chips to call.

His opponent turned over for 8-7-6-4-3, but Hellmuth had for a 7-6-4-3-A to take in the much-needed pot.
