Hellmuth Takes One Down
Level 10
: Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
The board was showing 10?7?2? with Igor Zektser and Sumir Mathur having checked to Phil Hellmuth on the button. Hellmuth bet and both players called.
The turn was 7? which again Zektser and Mathur checked. Hellmuth fired again, but only Mathur made the call.
On the 5? river, Mathur check-called another bet from Hellmuth and the cards were revealed. Hellmuth showed A?J?7?3? and Mathur turned over A?K?4?2?. Hellmuth took down both the high (trip sevens) and the low with the ace-trey nuts.
