On a flop of {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}, Brandon Cantu led out for 55,000 from late position. Phil Hellmuth called from the cutoff and Barry Leventhal folded on the button.

"Where's Honey? Honey!" called out Hellmuth, looking for his wife on the rail.

"I'm home!" David Saab echoed with a chuckle.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}. Cantu checked.

"For some reason, I just wanna win this pot right now. I'll show it to you" said Hellmuth as he bet 40,000. Cantu made the call.

The river was the {7-Hearts}. Cantu checked and Hellmuth checked behind.

Hellmuth rolled over {6-?} {6-?} and knocked over a stack of his chips when he saw Cantu's {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs}. Cantu raked in the pot.
