A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 2,400. Action passed around to Phil Hellmuth, seated in the big blind for this hand. He reraised, making it 9,400 to play, and his opponent called.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Hearts}. Hellmuth led out with 7,000 chips, and the other player bumped it up to 20,000. Hellmuth called.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} and Hellmuth took another stab, pushing out a smallish bet of 11,000. His opponent mucked his hand, and Hellmuth showed {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} before dragging in the pot.
