Hand 25: Hellmuth Quadruples up

Phil Hellmuth calls the big blind of 4,000 with {A-Spades}{7-Spades}, leaving just 1,000 behind.

We also have:

{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} de Wolfe.
{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} Frazer.
{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} Scharf.

Everyone checks down to the river on a board which comes:

{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Hellmuth bets his last 1,000 with his full house and Frazer obviously has to call.

Hand 23: Hellmuth Cripples Himself

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
Hellmuth limped in with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Helppi also limped on the button with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Black completed the small blind with {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Scharf on the big blind had {A-Hearts}{2-Spades} and checked.

A four-way flop came {9-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Hellmuth bet 7,000 and Helppi and Scharf both called.

Turn: {A-Diamonds}
Hellmuth fired again, 27,000 this time. Helppi thought for a while before calling with his flush draw and second pair, but Scharf with two pair - the best hand by some way - laid it down.

River: {J-Hearts}
With 91,000 in the pot and a stack of 29,000, Hellmuth's third bullet was going to price in any reasonable hand to call. He actually bet 24,000.

Helppi tanked for a couple of minutes before Hellmuth opened his mouth. "Do you have queen-jack of diamonds?" he asked, and Helppi replied, "If I had that, I'd have called you already."

It took him just a few seconds longer to actually make the call.

"You got it," said Hellmuth in disgust.

"If you hadn't said anything I might have laid it down."

Hellmuth has 5,000 remaining.

Hand 21

Hellmuth completed the small blind with {6-Clubs}{8-Spades} and called a raise to 6,000 from Helppi who had {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Flop: {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Hellmuth checked and Helppi bet 6,000 to take the pot.

Hand 20

Juha Helppi raises to 5,000 with {A-Spades}{5-Spades} from first position and it's folded to Scharf in the cutoff with {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} who makes the call. Everyone else folds.

Flop: {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Helppi checks and Frazer takes it down with a bet of 8,000.

Hand 19

Ian Frazer
Ian Frazer
Scharf raised on the button with {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. He made it 5,000 to go and Frazer called from the big blind with {6-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Flop: {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Turn: {6-Diamonds}
River: {J-Hearts}

It was checked all the way and nobody wanted to show their hand first, but eventually Frazer showed his pair of sixes and took the pot.
