Hey, What's Phil Hellmuth Up To?

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Phil Hellmuth

Glad you asked, Phil Hellmuth is currently sitting with 45,000. Here are his recent hands:

Hand #1: Hellmuth raised from the small blind to 2,400, and the big blind folded.

Hand #2: The very next hand, a player raised from early position, and Hellmuth three-bet to 5,600 to win the pot.

Hand #3: For the third hand in a row, Hellmuth joined the pot, but this time he limped for the 800 big blind. Ben Richardson raised from the big blind, making it 2,200 more, and Hellmuth called.

The flop was {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and both players checked. The turn was the {6-Clubs}, and Richardson bet 2,500. Hellmuth folded.

"You win," Hellmuth said as he folded. "That's round one. I limped with aces earlier. I don't just play hands, I play the people."

Hand #4: "I'm steaming now. I folded ace-four suited to him. I'm going to make it seventeen hundred."

The small blind and the big blind both called Hellmuth's middle-position raise. The flop came {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and the action checked to Hellmuth.

"Forty-two hundred," Hellmuth said the instant the action was on him, and both of his opponents folded.
