Hellmuth Cracks Hui's Kings
Level 12
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Seven Card Stud
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/9♠4♣8♣3♥/Xx
Phil Hui: XxXx/8♦6♣J♠9♥/Xx
Phil Hui bet on fifth street before Phil Hellmuth raised. Hui called, then called another bet on sixth.
Both players checked on seventh. "I had two pair right away," Hellmuth said as he showed 9♦4♦. Hui flashed K♥K♠ before mucking.
"He knew you had a big pair and he just runs you down with a split nine. It's okay when he does it. It's in the Phil Hellmuth yearbook," tablemate Mike Matusow said following the hand.
