Jonas Helness Gets His Aces Cracked

In a blind-vs-blind battle, Jonas Helness called the small blind's all-in on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Helness turned up {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and had to fade the small blind's flush draw with the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The turn was the {3-Clubs}, giving the small blind more outs with an open-ended straight draw and the {2-Diamonds} on the river filled it. A very irritated Helness was down to 21,000 after the hand.
