Hellmuth Picks Up Aces to Double Off Henson
Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better
Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu are seated beside each other at the same table, drawing a large group of spectators to the rail to watch.
"You're a $130 player and he's a $70 player. You should play twice as good as him," tablemate Dustin Dirksen told Negreanu.
Hellmuth then limped in from the button and Negreanu called in the small blind, Ray Henson raised in the big blind, Hellmuth piled in his last 45,500, Negreanu got out of the way, while Henson pushed his entire stack in a pile in front of him to call.
Phil Hellmuth: A♣A♠10♥6♦ 
Ray Henson: A♥Q♣3♥2♥
The board came J♣9♣10♣ to keep Hellmuth's aces in the lead, while the rest of the board ran out 6♣J♦ and Hellmuth doubled up.
"He saved you, Phil. I would've had quads," Negreanu said.
