Stud Hi-Lo
Phil Hellmuth had doubled up his short stack through through Bryn Kenney immediately following the three-table redraw before the following hand took place.
Phil Hellmuth: 5♦8♦/3♥5♠3♦9♦/K♠
Esther Taylor: A♦3♠/A♠7♣9♥6♣/J♥
Bryn Kenney: XxXx/6♠J♣7♥ - folded on fifth street
Esther Taylor completed, Kenney called and Hellmuth defended from the bring in.
Taylor bet fourth street and both opponents called. On fifth street Hellmuth bet after pairing his three and Taylor called while Kenney folded.
Hellmuth check-called a bet from Taylor on sixth street before both players checked seventh. Neither player had a low and Hellmuth's two pair was best against Taylor's pair of aces to take the pot.
