Hellmuth Above 2MM

Pot-Limit Omaha

Phil Hellmuth raised to 30,000 from under the gun, Vladimir Shchemelev called near the button, and the flop came down {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Hellmuth led for 50,000, Shchemelev called, and the two checked the turn ({6-Clubs}), and the river ({2-Spades}).

Hellmuth tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a straight, Shchemelev mucked, and Hellmuth won the pot.
