Johnson, Alaei Come Out on Top Against Hellmuth
Seven Card Stud
Marco Johnson: J?7?4?/7?8?2?2?
Phil Hellmuth: Xx10?10?/5?Q?A?J?
Phil Hellmuth brought it in and Marco Johnson called.
Hellmuth check-called a bet from Johnson on fourth street, then chose to lead fifth street on the A?. The betting lead reversed once again on sixth street with Hellmuth check-calling a bet from Johnson and Seventh went check-check.
Hellmuth showed down pocket tens but would be behind the two pair of Johnson.
In the next hand, action picked up with Hellmuth putting out a bet on seventh street against Daniel Alaei and Alaei coming in with the raise. Hellmuth would deliberate for some time before making the call.
Phil Hellmuth: XxXxXx/3?7?6?7?
Daniel Alaei: Q?10?9?/9?7?Q?5?
Alaei announced, "full house" and Hellmuth mucked face down.
