Hellmuth Staying Active

[user198205]

Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind who raised to 2,800. The big blind called and they saw the flop come {9-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} . Hellmuth bet out 2,800 and the big blind opted to call. When the {5-Clubs} fell on the turn both players checked and they saw the {j-Hearts} come on the river. Hellmuth bet 7,000 and the big blind folded but that didn't stop Hellmuth from showing his hand, the {5-} {5-} .

On the next hand Hellmuth raised to 2,800 from the button and the same player from the previous hand (now in the small blind) re-raised to 7,500. Hellmuth decided to lay his hand down and after these two hands his stack was at 24,000.
