Sontheimer Shoves on Hellmuth

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With 96,000 in the pot and a board reading {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Steffen Sontheimer bet 85,000 from the big blind holding the {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and his nemesis, Phil Hellmuth, quickly called from the button.

When the {2-Hearts} appeared on the river, Sontheimer used a time extension before moving all in for 169,000. Hellmuth, who barely had him covered, hit the tank and burned through two time extensions before folding his hand.
