Clements and Hellmuth Chop

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

Scott Clements led out for 4,100 with the board reading {5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Andrey Zaichenko, Phil Hellmuth, and "Crazy" Marco Johnson called. The turn was the {2-Spades}, and Clements led again - this time for 20,000. Only Hellmuth called, and both players checked when the {a-Hearts} fell on the river.

Clements opened up {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades} for kings and sevens, Hellmuth tabled {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for the same hand, and the two split the pot.
