Hellmuth Receives a Gift On His Return
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
The defending champion in this event, Phil Hellmuth has just taken his seat after missing the last eight days of action with COVID-19.
It didn't take him long to get into the mix, raising to 800 under the gun before a potential opponent on the button three-bet him.
Hellmuth came back with a four-bet to 8,000 and his opponent called.
Hellmuth drew one card and his opponent stood pat.
Both players then checked and Hellmuth declared "king".
"King what" replied his opponent, and Hellmuth rolled over 
.
Hellmuth's smooth king was good, with his opponent claiming he had king-ten.
"What a gift", commented a tablemate, as Hellmuth stacked chips for the first time in over a week.
