Sanjeev Sisodiya opened to 1,600 from early position and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the hijack, Stephen Decker in the cutoff, and Todd Michael in the big blind for a four-way pot.
Michael checked to Sisodiya, who continued for 3,500 on the 5♠2♥K♥ flop. Hellmuth raised to 7,000, and it was folded back around to Sisodiya, who raised again to 14,500.
"Twenty-three thousand," Hellmuth verbally announced as he put in his raise.
Sisodiya responded with a shove, and Hellmuth called all in for 74,500 total after a brief pause.
Phil Hellmuth: 5♥5♦
Sanjeev Sisodiya: 2♣2♦
Hellmuth found himself on the right end of a set-over-set cooler, and the 3♠Q♦ runout changed nothing — awarding "The Poker Brat" a double-up in the first level of the day.
"I can't fold second set," Hellmuth said as he collected the pot, "But I can fold bottom set."
