Hellmuth Hits a Four.

An under the gun player raised to 1,600. Phil Hellmuth, who started the hand with about 14,000, called from under the gun + 2, and a player in middle position reraised all-in over the top for 6,000. Action folded back to the under the gun raiser, who folded. Hellmuth quickly called the extra 4,400.

Hellmuth was holding {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} and his opponent had {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. It wasn't looking good for Hellmuth until the flop fell {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

"Diamond me," Hellmuth asked the dealer. And the dealer obliged with the {7-Diamonds} on the turn.

The river was a brick though, {Q-Hearts}, and Hellmuth scooped the pot.
