hit the river. Hellmuth checked and Baranov bet 190,000.
"I think you got me here," said Hellmuth. Despite this statement Hellmuth threw out a call and Baranov showed 
for a rivered pair of jacks.
Hellmuth jumped out of his seat, showing 
in the process for the second best hand.
"I've got them drawing dead every hand!" continued Hellmuth. "What do they call me with!? Wow. This is so sick. They play so bad."
With this win Baranov is now closing the gap between himself and chipleader Hellmuth.
