Another Knockout by Hellmuth
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was caught in a three-way pot on the flop of 6♥8♦4♥. Player in the small blind checked, as did Phil Hellmuth in the big blind. Vitalijs Zavorotnijs was on the cutoff and bet 30,000. Small blind called.
Hellmuth now raised to 130,000 and, after a few moments of thinking, Zavorotnijs went all in for about 250,000 total. Small blind folded and Hellmuth called.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: K♣K♥
Phil Hellmuth: 8♥8♣
Hellmuth had flopped a set and his fast-play paid off. The turn and river were 5♣ and 4♣ respectively, and Hellmuth was able to take another bounty and chip up again.
