Marquis Undeterred, Keeps Calling Hellmuth

Coming back from the break, Phil Hellmuth had chipped up a bit, and was approaching the half million mark when the following hand took place.

Craig Marquis raised to 28,000, and Phil Hellmuth called behind him. The flop came {5-Clubs}{J-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Marquis checked, Hellmuth bet 28,000, and Marquis called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}. Marquis again checked, and Hellmuth took a sip of his coffee before betting out 100,000. Again, Marquis called.

The river brought the {Q-Spades}. Marquis checked, and this time Hellmuth checked as well. Marquis showed {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for jacks and fives, and Hellmuth mucked.

Hellmuth is back down to 325,000, and Marquis is now up to 625,000.
