, and both checked. The river brought the 
and a bet of 36,400 from Hellmuth. Oppenheim raised to 90,000, and Hellmuth -- who didn't catch that there'd been a raise -- said "Aces." Then, "Oh, you raised? Call."
Hellmuth tabled 
for aces full of eights -- the near-nuts -- and Oppenheim laughed as he showed his

Hellmuth is now at about 400,000, while Oppenheim has about 415,000.
