Hand #95

Brian Rast had the button. He raised to 180,000. Owais Ahmed moved all in for 1.38 million from the big blind and Rast folded.

Hand #96

Phil Hellmuth had the button with 20 minutes left in the current level. Hellmuth limped in from the button and Owais Ahmed raised from the small blind to 320,000. Miny Ly folded in the big blind and Hellmuth also folded.

Hand #97

Owais Ahmed has the button to start this hand. Phil Hellmuth raised to 180,000 from under the gun and Minh Ly called from the small blind. The flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and Ly checked dark. Hellmuth bet 100,000, saying, "I gotta bet something." Ly raised to 300,000 and then Hellmuth made it 500,000. Ly called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Ly checked. Hellmuth checked. "Check, geez," he said.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and both players quickly checked. Ly tabled the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for two pair and Hellmuth showed just the {A-Spades}. He mucked and Ly won the hand.
