Phil Hellmuth III Wins a Small One
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Son of Poker Hall of Famer Phil Hellmuth Jr., Phil Hellmuth III was involved in a blind vs. blind battle. Maxwell Young limped from the small blind, and Hellmuth checked his option.
Young checked to Hellmuth on a 5♣3♦8♥ flop, Hellmuth wagered 800 and was called by young.
The turn brought the J♣. Young checked again, this time Hellmuth bet 1,500, which was good enough to get a fold from Young. Hellmuth has doubled his starting stack and hopes to follow in his father's footsteps and win a gold bracelet this summer.
