Phil Hellmuth limped on the button, and David "ODB" Baker checked his option. The flop was 2♣5♣A♦ and Baker checked to Hellmuth who bet out 5,000. Baker called.

The turn was the 4♠, and both players checked through.

The gin card hit on the river 5♦, and Baker led for 44,000. Hellmuth pondered a moment and then raised to 155,000. Baker flat called, and Hellmuth immediately stated, "I've got it."

Baker flipped over 5♠2♥ for a full house, and Hellmuth flipped over A♥5♥ for the higher full house.
