Hand #71

Brian Rast had the button. He raised to 185,000, Phil Hellmuth called out of the small blind, and Owais Ahmed defended his big. The flop fell {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and Hellmuth led for 150,000. Ahmed mucked, and Rast raised to 525,000.

"Now I got you bluffing big!" Hellmuth laughed as he folded his hand.

Rast mucked the winner, and took down the pot.

Hand #72

Phil Hellmuth had the button. He raised to 225,000 on the button, and Minh Ly defended his big blind. The dealer fanned {9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and Ly immediately led for 250,000. Hellmuth folded, and Ly took down the pot.

Hand #73

Owais Ahmed had the button. He limped in, Minh Ly completed from the small blind and Brian Rast checked his option in the big. The flop came down {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Ly led for 150,000, Rast called, and Ahmed folded.

The {6-Spades} turned, and both players checked.

The river was the {8-Diamonds}, and both players checked again. Ly opened up {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Rast mucked, and Ly won the pot.
