Phil Hellmuth raised in the cutoff, and got blinds Robert Mizrachi and James Obst along to a 9♥7♦2♦ flop. Hellmuth continued with a bet, which both opponents called.
Mizrachi checked in flow on the K♠ turn, but Obst decided to toss in a bet. Hellmuth called, and so did Mizrachi. The same sequence then occurred on the 5♥ river.
Mizrachi tabled A♦J♣3♥2♠ for the nut low, and Obst took the high part of the pot with K♦K♣J♠2♣ for a turned set of kings. While the pot was being divided, Owais Ahmed's seat was declared empty at an adjacent table.
