It began with a min-raise by Hellmuth and a call from his opponent.
On the flop, it went check, a 900 continuation from Hellmuth, a 2,200 raise, a 4,100 three-bet by Hellmuth, and finally an all in for around 10,000, which was called.

Another table is now playing heads-up and it's Table #30 in the Silver section.
Anthony Burch-Castro is leading against Jon Kyte with a 2-to-1 edge in chips. They are playing extremely deep-stacked at the moment, however, so all that could change.
