No White Magic for Hellmuth
Level 8
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a completed board of A♥9♠2♦A♣A♥, Phil Hellmuth and Joao Vieira were heads-up in the blinds with a pot of around 40,000 in the middle.
Hellmuth checked to Vieira who bet 8,000 and Hellmuth instantly check-raised all in for 16,000. Vieira deliberated for the extra 8,000 chips including using one of his time banks.
"Only 8,000 more," Hellmuth said as the table all laughed at the situation. Vieira reluctantly called and Hellmuth tabled his hand. "Queen," he said but tabled 7♣6♣ for just seven-high.
Vieira flipped over 5x2x for a full house and Hellmuth put his hands in the air as he quietly walked away.
