Hellmuth Adds to Stack
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sixteen-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Helmuth has slowly, yet steadily built his chip stack throughout the course of the evening.
After action folded to him in the cutoff, he took another opportunity by raising to 45,000.
The button got out of the way, the small blind called, while the big blind folded.
The dealer placed 4♣7♥6♠ on the board. The small blind checked, and Helmuth didn’t hesitate to bet 80,000, which forced a fold.
Helmuth’s chase for a 17th career WSOP bracelet remains alive.
