Just a Deuce for Sontheimer

Level 16 : 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened to 31,000 in the hijack and Steffen Sontheimer defended his big blind.

The flop landed {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and both players checked as the {9-Spades} landed on the turn.

Sontheimer checked, and Hellmuth bet 37,000 with Sontheimer making the call as the river landed the {7-Diamonds}.

Both players checked, and Hellmuth tabled his {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, but it would be Sontheimer's {4-Clubs}{2-Spades} that would ensure he was pushed the pot.
