Hellmuth Hangs Tough
After limping and then folding to raises on the two previous hands, Phil Hellmuth decided to come in for a raise from under the gun to 47,000. Blair Rodman made the call in the cutoff and Alessio Isaia came along in the big blind.
They took a flop of and Isaia checked to Hellmuth who moved all in for his last 140,000 chips. Rodman went into the tank before folding as Isaia also let it go.
"Very close Phil," remarked Rodman.
"I had the aces that hand!" replied an excited Hellmuth. He's up to 239,000.
