Ouch

Phil Hellmuth picked up J-J-x-x on the button. He wanted to play that one. Erick Lindgren had {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} in the small blind. Why not?

The flop came {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, 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.
