Hellmuth Starts off With a Win

Happy_Freaked

One of the superstars that's still gunning for the first WSOPE bracelet of 2011, Phil Hellmuth, started the second day off with a win. The board read {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} when Hellmuth checked from the small blind and his opponent, Dennis Bejedal, checked his option on the button.

The river was the {7-Diamonds} and with around 12,000 chips in the middle Hellmuth announced a 7,500 bet. Very smooth the 11-time bracelet winner threw out the chips, after giving it some though Bejedal folded. Hellmuth is up to 41,000 while Bejedal is getting short, he's got 24,000 left.
