Phil Hellmuth completed with the {A-Hearts} showing, but after Owais Ahmed raised with the {10-Diamonds} and Vladimir Shchemelev reraised with the {K-Clubs} , Hellmuth stepped aside. Ahmed called Shchemelev's reraise. The pair would put in three bets apiece on fourth, then bet on fifth until Shchemelev was all in.

Ahmed ( {10-Clubs} )( {8-Hearts} ) / {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Shchemelev ( {9-Spades} )( {10-Spades} ) / {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Spades}

Ahmed drew the {2-Spades} on sixth and {6-Diamonds} on seventh to finish with tens and eights. And Shchemelev picked up the {J-Clubs} and {K-Clubs} to end with a better two pair, kings and nines.
