Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

According to the players, the hand started with a limp by Santiago Plante from the middle position, which was followed by a call from Phil Hellmuth in the hijack. The button also called, as did the small blind. The big blind checked his option.

The flop came Q♦J♦5♥. The small blind checked and the big blind went all in for 7,500 chips. Plante then went over the top, all in for 24,000 chips, and Hellmuth called all in for 20,000 chips. The button and small blind folded.

Big blind: Q♠7♠ All in
Phil Hellmuth: Q♣J♣ All in
Santiago Plante: A♦4♦

Hellmuth had the best of it on the flop with top two pair; the short-stacked big blind was way behind and needed running sevens, while Plante was very live with the nut flush draw.

The turn 9♠ still looked like Hellmuth, but the 5♦ on the river brought in Plante’s flush. Hellmuth took the beat well, wished the table good luck and hit the rail.
