: 10,000/20,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Schulman made it 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Phil Hellmuth on the button and Richard Ashby from the big blind. Ashby began the draw by taking two cards, while Hellmuth and Schulman both opted to take one.
The action went check-check to Phil Hellmuth who slowly and deliberately counted out a raise. After peeking at his hand once more, Phil shoved in a stack of pinks totaling 140,000. Richard Ashby made the call with little hesitation as Schulman sent his cards to the muck.
"I have an eight," remarked Phil, flipping up 
. Ashby tossed his cards away and Hellmuth scooped a pot big enough to propel him back into the chip lead. Hellmuth is now sitting with 1,200,000 while Ashby is down to 960,000.
