Chop then Double

Phil Hellmuth: {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} / {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} / {7-Diamonds}
Eric Rodawig: {J-Spades} {8-Clubs} / {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} / {Q-Diamonds}

Phil Hellmuth was all in by fifth street and ahead against Eric Rodawig but the latter pulled out a queen on seventh to make a straight. Hellmuth now needed to make a low or full house otherwise he'd finish in second place. He picked up the {7-Diamonds} and it was back to the battle.

Soon after though...

Hellmuth: {x-} {x-} / {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} / {x-}
Rodawig: {x-} {x-} / {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} / {x-}

Hellmuth was all in by sixth and showing {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} and picked up the {3-Clubs} on the seventh to scoop as Rodawig flipped {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for only a lowly pair of fives.

Hellmuth is back in this.
