Hellmuth Hits the Nut-Nut
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Limits: 2,500-8,500
Viktor Blom limped under the gun before Bruno Furth raised to 11,000 from the cutoff. Phil Hellmuth called on the button, but Zachary Reinbold squeezed to 44,000 from the small blind. Blom folded before Furth four-bet with the covering stack, which Hellmuth and Reinbold called.
Phil Hellmuth: A♠9♥8♦2♠ 
Zachary Reinbold: A♦A♣6♥4♥
Bruno Furth: A♥Q♦10♠2♣
If Furth could somehow find a way to win, he would bust two players. The board ran out 5♦7♥4♣3♥6♣ to give Hellmuth the nut-nut, with Furth also having the nut low. Hellmuth won three-quarters of the main pot, and Furth got a quarter. Reinbold ended up staying alive as he chopped the side pot with Furth.
