Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Justin Liberto was heads-up from the button against Phil Hellmuth in the big blind on a 3♥3♦7♥ flop.

Hellmuth checked to Liberto, who bet 80,000. Hellmuth then check-raised to 240,000 and Liberto called.

The Q♠ fell on the turn and Hellmuth checked — prompting a 325,000 bet from Liberto.

Hellmuth let his hand go and was left with under a million in chips following the hand.
