James Worth Takes the Chip Lead

James Worth just got all of his chips all-in and once again, it was his tournament life on the line in a hand against Phil Hellmuth.

Hellmuth had opened to 21,000 from the button and Worth moved all in for 129,000 from the big blind. It was a snap-call for Hellmuth and they flipped their cards on their backs.

Hellmuth was the one who needed to hit as they headed into the flop. It came , giving Worth a flush draw and Hellmuth now needed a king to hit Broadway. The turn locked it up for Worth with the nut flush and the river made no difference.

Worth has nabbed the chip lead but at the same time, this is the most even-stacked the players have been since playing three-handed.
