Hellmuth Picks Off Sontheimer
Level 16
: 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante
Steffen Sontheimer raised to 32,000 from early position and Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 62,000 directly to his left. The action folded back around to Sontheimer who made the call. The flop came 
and both players checked to the 
on the turn.
Sontheimer led out for 55,000 and Hellmuth called. The river was the 
and Sontheimer barrelled again for 115,000. Hellmuth snapped him off and Sontheimer announced ace-high. Hellmuth tabled 
and quickly started scooping the pot. Hellmuth stacked his chips in silence but that might not last for long.
