The board showed {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Phil Hellmuth bet 5,400 into a pot around 6,500. Brandon Cantu moved all in for 17,400 and Hellmuth took several minutes before making the call. Both players flipped their hands and Cantu would be at risk.

Phil Hellmuth: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Brandon Cantu: {q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The turn came the {3-Diamonds} and Cantu still needed to connect. The {7-Hearts} came on the river and Hellmuth's hand held on to take down the pot and eliminate Cantu.
