"Nice hand, buddy. I'm in bad shape," Hellmuth said after seeing Aleksandrovski's aces. Lamb expressed surprise at Hellmuth's hand.
"I was going for it," Hellmuth replied.
The 
flop improved Hellmuth to trip eights, and he stayed ahead on the 
turn and river.
"I had no idea you could get it in that bad in PLO," tablemate Chance Kornuth said after the hand.
