No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
David Baker raised to 5,500 in the hijack, and Frank Kassela called in the cutoff. Phil Hellmuth then squeezed in a three-bet to 15,000 from the big blind, which both Baker and Kassela called.
Hellmuth remained pat on the draw, with Baker and Kassela each taking one card.
Hellmuth then checked, prompting Baker to bet 31,000, enough to put Hellmuth all-in. Kassela made a quick fold, but Hellmuth snap-called.
Baker showed 8x7x5x4x3x, eliminating Hellmuth as the all-time bracelet leader had patted a worse eight with 8x7x6x5x2x.
