Schwaederle Picks Off Hellmuth
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Cedric Schwaederle raised from the cutoff to 20,000, finding Phil Hellmuth in the big blind, who defended.
Hellmuth checked in the dark as the flop came J♣9♣Q♦. Schwaederle checked back to reveal the 6♦ on the turn.
Both players checked again to the 3♣ on the river. Hellmuth bet out 20,000 and Schwaederle snap-called. Hellmuth instantly mucked his cards and Schwaederle chose to do the same.
