Hellmuth Finally Scoops One
Level 28
Omaha Hi-Lo
Phil Hellmuth and Aleksey Filatov had been exchanging in banter ever since they had chopped a few big pots.
Action folded around to Hellmuth in the small blind and he raised.
"I'll take just take this down preflop," said Hellmuth over to Filatov in the big blind.
"I'm just going to play my hand Phil," responded Filatov who called "no matter what you say."
The flop rolled out 2?7?J? and Filatov called the bet from Hellmuth.
Hellmuth bet a second time on the turn A? and once more Filatov called. Both players checked the river 4?.
"Aces and jacks with a live six," said Hellmuth turning over A?K?J?6?. Filatov nodded, tossing his hand into the muck and a look of glee washed over the 18-time bracelet winner's face.
