Hellmuth Takes A Hit

Mickey Doft

On the first hand back from dinner break...

Eslami: {X-} {X-} / {6-Clubs}
Tehan: {X-} {X-} / {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} / {X-}
Hellmuth: {X-} {X-} / {Q-Clubs} {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} / {X-}

After Ali Eslami brought it in, Joe Tehan completed. Phil Hellmuth raised and action folded back to Tehan who called. Both checked fourth street and Hellmuth check-called fifth street. Tehan took the on-board lead on sixth street and bet, getting called by Hellmuth. The same action happened on seventh street and Tehan tabled {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} for a full house. Hellmuth angrily muttered to himself as he mucked his hand.
