The under the gun player limps and Phil Hellmuth raises to 1,000 in the cutoff. The big blind pushes a large stack all in and only Hellmuth calls. Hellmuth has {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

and the opponent {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

. They split.

The opponent isn't too pleased. "So, you call there with A-Q off?" he says.
"Oh, you're gonna criticize the greatest Hold'em player in the world," says Hellmuth.
