Wisconsin Boys Battle
Joe Kuether and Phil Hellmuth, who both hail from Wisconsin, each put in 3,500 preflop and then the latter checked dark. Kuether wasn't intimidated and bet 5,000, Hellmuth called, and then both players checked the turn and river.
"King," Hellmuth said and tabled . Kuether silently mucked his cards and Hellmuth was pushed the pot.
