Hellmuth Sends Yaroshevskyy Out

Niveau 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 45,000 from middle position and Igor Yaroshevskyy three-bet to 300,000 on the button, leaving himself not much more behind. Phil Hellmuth four-bet shvoed out of the big blind for 465,000, getting a quick fold from Reard.

At that point, thinking Yaroshevskyy had already called, Hellmuth exposed his hand for a brief moment. Yaroshevskyy appeared to have seen his opponent's cards, as he considered folding to leave himself short-stacked. Ultimately, he seemed to conclude that the pot odds were too good to pass up and called off for his tournament life.

Igor Yaroshevsky: A♠Q♠
Phil Hellmuth: K♠K♦

Hellmuth had found cowboys at an opportune moment to leave himself well-placed to scoop a large pot late in the night. Yaroshevksy was hoping to put a beat on the all-time WSOP bracelet leader but could not do so as the board ran out 6♦7♥8♦7♠6♠ to keep Hellmuth ahead and send Yaroshevsky to the rail.
