Rheem and Hellmuth Chop It Up
Level 12
Big O
Chino Rheem limped in from under the gun, and a player on the button shoved for 3,500. Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind, and Rheem called as well.
The flop came 7♣5♠8♦. Rheem checked, Hellmuth moved all in for about 4,500, and Rheem called to put both Hellmuth and the player on the button at risk.
Button: A♠A♦9♣8♥4♦ 
Phil Hellmuth: A♣10♣5♥3♣2♠
Chino Rheem: K♠K♦9♦7♥4♥
Hellmuth had the nut-low while the button was ahead for the other half with a pair of aces. The J♦ turn changed nothing, but the K♣ river gave Rheem a set of kings to take the high while Hellmuth took the other half, and the player on the button was sent to the rail.
