Johnson, Alaei Come Out on Top Against Hellmuth
Seven Card Stud
Marco Johnson: J♥7♥4♠/7♦8♣2♥2♣
Phil Hellmuth: Xx10♠10♣/5♣Q♣A♦J♦
Phil Hellmuth brought it in and Marco Johnson called.
Hellmuth check-called a bet from Johnson on fourth street, then chose to lead fifth street on the A♦. The betting lead reversed once again on sixth street with Hellmuth check-calling a bet from Johnson and Seventh went check-check.
Hellmuth showed down pocket tens but would be behind the two pair of Johnson.
In the next hand, action picked up with Hellmuth putting out a bet on seventh street against Daniel Alaei and Alaei coming in with the raise. Hellmuth would deliberate for some time before making the call.
Phil Hellmuth: XxXxXx/3♦7♦6♣7♠
Daniel Alaei: Q♠10♥9♦/9♠7♥Q♣5♥
Alaei announced, "full house" and Hellmuth mucked face down.
