Hellmuth Flops Quads, Eliminates Klezys
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kasparas Klezys raised to 2,500 in hijack with A♣J♣ and got called by Phil Hellmuth holding 4♠4♥ in cutoff.
The flop came 4♣4♦7♣ giving Hellmuth quads and leaving Klezys drawing dead. Klezys fired 2,000, unaware of his situation, and Hellmuth called.
Both players checked the turn 5♥,. The painful 10♣ river fell, and Klezys, who had caught a flush, passed the action to Hellmuth, hoping to trap possibly.
Hellmuth fired 14,700, Klezys went all-in. Hellmuth went, "I call, I've got quads." And with that Klezys left the table as Hellmuth scooped the pot.
