Kings Beat Deuces

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
When the hand began, Daniel Negreanu had chipped up to around 60,000, and Phil Hellmuth had about 30,000.

Phil Hellmuth limped from middle position, Sirous Jamshidi called from the cutoff, Daniel Negreanu called from the button, Daniel Alaei folded from the small blind, and Alex Kravchenko checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and all four checked. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}. Kravchenko bet 2,000, Hellmuth raised to 6,000, and Jamshidi called. Then Negreanu re-potted to 21,000. Kravchenko folded, Hellmuth reraised all in, Jamshidi folded and Negreanu made the call.

Hellmuth: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{J-Spades}
Negreanu: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Hellmuth was in good shape with his set of kings against Negreanu's set of deuces. The river was the {5-Hearts}, and Hellmuth is now up to 62,000. Negreanu has slipped to 30,000.
