Ace on the River for Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth raised to 80,000 from the button and received a call from Joseph Cheong in the small blind. Both players checked the flop, and then Cheong led out for 90,000 on the
turn. Hellmuth made the call and then fired out 180,000 when Cheong checked the
river. The latter thought for about 90 seconds before making the call, but mucked when Hellmuth revealed
for a rivered pir of aces.
