No Limit Hold'em

The action was picked up on a board of {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Phil Hellmuth fired out a bet of 100,000 into Adam Friedman and was called.

The river card was the {j-Clubs} and Hellmuth checked, which prompted Friedman to bet 126,000. That sent Hellmuth into the tank briefly, but he opted to fold and Friedman was awarded the pot.

With this hand Friedman has taken over the chip lead with 3,500,000 chips.
