Niveau 11
: 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Louis Abronson called on the button. From the small blind, Roman Hrabec asked how much Hellmuth was playing behind before three-betting to 20,000.
Hellmuth called while Abronson quickly got out of the way. Hrabec took one, while Hellmuth discarded a queen.
After the draw, Hrabec announced he was all in, covering Hellmuth's remaining 22,500.
"Oh, I made a big hand here," Hellmuth said before shoving the rest of his stack in the middle and showing 
. Hrabec mucked his ten-low and the defending champion and 16-time bracelet winner doubled up.
