Ouch

Shamus

Phil Hellmuth picked up J-J-x-x on the button. He wanted to play that one. Erick Lindgren had {4-Clubs}

in the small blind. Why not?

The flop came {A-Clubs}

, and Lindgren got the rest of his chips in the middle vs. Hellmuth. A turn of {2-Diamonds}

and a river of {7-Diamonds}

gave Lindgren a backdoor flush. And Hellmuth a little ball of pain right between the eyes.

To give you an idea of how many rebuys there have been at Table 15, here's a count of the chips there at the moment:

Phil Hellmuth -- 49,000
Robert Williamson III -- 44,000
Erick Lindgren -- 33,000
Daniel Negreanu -- 31,000
Sirous Jamshidi -- 21,000
Erik Seidel -- 20,000
Daniel Alaei -- 16,000
Alex Kravchenko -- 8,7000

Of course, in the time it took to type that, all that has changed.
