Poker Brat Making Noise

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

When we returned from our dinner break, we noticed that the one and only Phil Hellmuth had late registered for the tournament, and he literally wasted no time in getting his money in. When we got to the table, Hellmuth had pushed all 7,300 of his chips in preflop, and Scott Clements slammed down a call, saying "Your ahead right now."

Hellmuth: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Clements: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Clements had a ton of draw possibilities, but the flop was pretty ugly for his hand, coming {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The turn and river came {4-Hearts} and {j-Hearts}, and Hellmuth cruised to an early and surprising double up, while Clements dropped to 4,500.
