Hellmuth Dubs Rousso Queen

Phil Hellmuth entered the pot with a min-raise, kicking it to 200 before the flop. Stanislav Alekhin, who Phil's been calling, 'The Russian,' made the call from the small blind, as did Vladimir Kochelaevskiy in the big.

All three players checked down a board of {K-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} and at the showdown, Phil announced, "There's one queen at the table, buddy . . . Vanessa Rousso," as he rolled over a pair of black queens, placing them face-up on the table in front of Rousso. The queens were good, and Phil scooped up the mini-pot.
