Harman Takes It Down on Turn

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

Jennifer Harman raised to 600 from the cutoff only to have Caufman Talley three-bet to 900. The player in the small blind called, Harman did the same and three players saw a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The small blind and Harman checked, Talley bet 300 and two calls were made.

When the dealer burned and turned the {K-Clubs}, the small blind checked and Harman fired out 600. Talley thought long and hard before folding his hand, and the small blind mimicked his action.

Hellmuth Flops the Nuts

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We happened by Table 10 with 1,000 in the pot and a flop of {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. A woman in Seat 1 was already all in, and a player in middle-position checked to 13-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth in the cutoff.

Hellmuth took his time before putting out a bet, which inspired the middle-position player to fold. Hellmuth then tabled the {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for the flopped nuts, and the lady showed the {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for an inferior flush. Hellmuth seemed to have a lock on the hand, but the running {3-Hearts} turn and {5-Clubs} river gave the lady a low for half the pot.

"Good job, dealer," the lady said excitedly while Hellmuth sat quietly.

Despite winning a part of that pot, Hellmuth is down from the starting stack of 4,500.

Ho Chops Three-Ways with a Wheel

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We walked into a very interesting hand between Maria Ho and two fellow opponents. The pot was very small, around 3,500, and the board read {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Ho was first to announce her hand, calmly stating, "Wheel," as she revealed {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Usually, this would be a scoop and Ho would have picked up the whole pot. However, both of Ho's opponents also had a wheel:

Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent 2: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"All three of us flopped it?!" said one of the shocked opponents. The three players ended up chopping the pot three-ways, bringing Maria's stack to just about 9,000.
