Hellmuth's Three-Card Play No Good

Phil Hellmuth seems to have shown up in a jovial mood for the start of this event. He played a multi-way pot to a flop of {3-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. They were five to a turn of {a-Hearts}, where Hellmuth was the only caller of a single bet.

On the river {6-Spades} both players checked. The turn aggressor showed two pair, aces and jacks. Hellmuth rolled over three cards, {k-} {q-} {10-}, and jokingly tried to claim a Broadway straight.

"That might work in some other places," said the dealer. "But not here."
