Hellmuth's Pat Hand Is Best

Level 21

2-7 Triple Draw

Phil Hellmuth limped from under the gun, Owais Ahmed limped as well from a seat over, and it folded to Jason Lester who completed from the small blind. George Lind checked from the BB.

All drew three cards except Ahmed who took just two. It checked to Hellmuth who bet, Ahmed raised, the others folded, and Hellmuth called.

Both players stood pat on the second draw. Hellmuth checked, Ahmed bet, and Hellmuth called. The pair stood pat again, and again Hellmuth check-called.

Hellmuth showed {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}, and Ahmed mucked. Hellmuth now has over 2.3 million, while Ahmed has 850,000.

Shortly after Hellmuth offered some commentary on his 2-7 TD play. "I haven't put a dime in a deuce-to-seven pot without the best hand," he said.
