"I Had a Queen-High Flush"

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

Phil Hellmuth late registered and waited a bit to make his entrance, but now that he's here and playing he is actually doing quite well despite the following hand.

Hellmuth limped from middle position and inspired Dario Alioto to do the same from the hijack. The cutoff, button and both blinds came along and six players saw the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Four checks saw the cutoff bet 1,800, the big blind called and Hellmuth did the same. The other players got out of the way and it was three-way action to the {9-Hearts} turn, which all three checked.

When the {6-Hearts} completed the board on the river, the big blind led out for 5,200 and Hellmuth thought for a bit before folding. After the cutoff did the same, the big blind showed the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

"I folded a queen-high flush," Hellmuth said proudly.
