Within moments of the start of heads-up play, the two players were all in.

Phil Hellmuth limped the button with the {A-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

and Daniel Negreanu raised to 160,000 with the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. Hellmuith then reraised all in for 680,000 and Negreanu called.

The flop came down {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

and Hellmuth stayed in front. The turn was the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

and took away the {J-Hearts}

as an out for Negreanu. The river was the {8-Diamonds}
