No-Limit Hold 'em

Picking action up on the flop with the board reading 4♣2♠3♥, Phil Hellmuth checked in the big blind to Ben Yu on the button who bet 7,000.

Hellmuth snap check-raised to 28,000, which gave Yu some pause, but he made the call.

The players checked the J♦ turn, but on the K♠ river, Hellmuth bet 62,000.

Yu thought for over a minute before making the call to which Hellmuth replied, "nice call."

It indeed was a nice call, as after Hellmuth revealed his 9♦5♦ for a missed straight draw, Yu showed A♦7♠ for ace-high, which was good.

"That's the best call anyone's made against me all summer," complimented Hellmuth.

After the hand, Hellmuth's table was broken, leading Hellmuth to further say, "you can't break the table when he's calling me with ace-high. I just need a couple more hours with him."

Dehkharghani tabled his K♣10♣ and Rotholz mucked the Q♣10♦ for the slightly inferior kicker.
