Hellmuth: /
/
Forrest: /
Racener: //
Phil Hellmuth was the bring in and Ted Forrest called. John Racener completed, getting calls from both Hellmuth and Forrest.
Hellmuth checked fourth street, Forrest bet, and was called by both. Fifth street saw Hellmuth and Forrest both check to Racener who tanked for a bit before betting. After getting called by both, sixth street gave Hellmuth a pair of kings. He bet, Forrest raised all in, and Racener called.
Seventh street was checked by both as Hellmuth announced kings. That didn't interest Forrest, though, who was praying Racener didn't have a low. He did, unfortunately for Forrest.
