With the board reaading {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} on the turn, Phil Hellmuth led out for a 2,200 bet into the 5,000-chip pot. Jonathan Aguiar called and Martin Kabrhel called on the button. The river was the {K-Hearts}. Hellmuth checked, Aguiar checked and Kabrhel bet 12,600. Hellmuth folded and with the action on Aguiar, he paused for a moment before moving all-in for 24,000. Kabrhel made the call.

Aguiar showed {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the nut flush and Kabrhel mucked. Aguiar is up to 62,000 thanks to his crafty play, while Kabrhel is down to 205,000.

Hollink Finds His Card

Rob Hollink was all in for 11,500 before the flop, and he was in rough shape with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} to Jason DeWitt's {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}.

The dealer worked some magic for the Dutchman, though. The board ran out {Q-Spades} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Hollink found his pair to earn the double up. He's back to 26,000 now, crippling DeWitt all the way down to just 8,000 lonely chips.

Kabrehl Milks Hellmuth

There was 3,800 already in the pot when the flop came down {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Phil Hellmuth checked, Martin Kabrhel bet 2,400 and Hellmuth called. Hellmuth checked dark before the {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Kabrhel bet 3,800.

"Did I mention you're a funny guy?" said Kabrhel as Hellmuth thought over his decision.

"I feel like I'm being milked like a cow," replied Hellmuth as he made the call. Both player checked the {J-Spades} on the river.

Hellmuth turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for ace-high, but it was no good against Kabrhel's {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair of sevens.

Kabrhel is up to 200,000 while Hellmuth is down to 38,000.
