What do you guys make of this hand? Do you like the PF limp? What about his raise and call on the flop? Can you imagine his reaction if he was in Cabrera's shoes and his opponent played the hand the same way he did and hit runner runner against him? That would have been fun to watch.

Phil Hellmuth calls from under the gun and Elio Cabrera limps from the small blind. Juha Helppi checks his option and the flop comes KhQd9h. Cabrera checks and Helppi bets $45,000. Hellmuth raises to $145,000 and Cabrera moves all in for $280,000 total. Helppi folds and Hellmuth makes the call. Cabrera turns over Js10d for the nut straight. Hellmuth shows Kd5d and is behind. However, the turn is the 2d and the river is the 7d. Hellmuth makes runner runner flush to eliminated Cabrera.
