Two Knockouts Are Twice as Nice

It was a four-way hand on the first draw after Phil Hellmuth limped in, with Tom McCormick raising all in and being called by Hellmuth and two others. Each player drew one card on the first pass. Phil Hellmuth checked to the player on the button, who bet. Both remaining players besides McCormick (who was already all in) called.

Each player drew one card on the second draw. Again action checked to the button, and again he bet. That induced one fold, but Hellmuth raised. The first player called. All three remaining players stood pat on the third draw. Hellmuth quickly moved all of his chips in the middle and declared, "All in." His opponent called just as quickly, but it was bad news for him: Hellmuth had made 7-6-5-3-2. The opponent showed an 7-6-5-4-2, knocked the table "good hand," and packed up. The other all-in player turned over a ten and also stood up from the table.

After the hand, Hellmuth was up to about 11,000.
