Wilkinson Doubles Through Hellmuth
Level 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Seven Card Stud
Wil Wilkinson: K?K?/6?10?8?K?/2?
Phil Hellmuth: 9?7?/7?6?7?5?/10?
Picking action up on fourth street, a short-stacked Wil Wilkinson check-called a bet from Phil Hellmuth, and then did so again on fifth. Hellmuth bet sixth dark for Wilkinson's final chips and Wilkinson called.
Hellmuth was in great shape before that final bet with trip sevens, but Wilkinson hit trip kings on sixth to take the lead.
Both players bricked seventh street, and Wilkinson, who was a thorn in Hellmuth's side on Day 2 doubling through him a couple of times, did so again early here on Day 3.
