Hellmuth limped next to the bring-in which brought along the others as it went five ways to fourth.
Turner led on fourth, Keller called, Hellmuth folded, Mercier called, and Klein folded.
Turner led fifth with open aces, Keller raised all-in for 36,000, and both Mercier and Turner called.
Turner would lead again on sixth and seventh and Mercier called down for the side pot. Turner revealed K♦4♠4♥ in the hole for aces-up while Mercier revealed J♥5♥4♣ for an eight-five low, and the side pot was chopped.
Keller had 10♣8♣5♣ as he caught a fifth club on seventh to make his flush, and he won the high for the main pot to survive.
