Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Martin Hellmuth moved all in for 335,000 in the hijack, Jamie Dwan reshoved in the small blind, and Michael Rosaman gave up his big blind.

Martin Hellmuth: A♠9♠ All in
Jamie Dwan: 7♣7♥

Hellmuth already had his backpack around his shoulders after Dwan announced his reshove, but took it off when Dwan revealed his sevens. "I thought i was done for. I was already out the door. It's meant to be now, I think," Hellmuth said.

The flop came 7♠5♥4♣ to give Dwan top set, but the J♠ turn gave Hellmuth hope with a flush draw. "There we go. You think I'm not going to hit the flush," Hellmuth said.

The 4♠ river gave Hellmuth his flush and he began celebrating before noticing that Dwan had improved to a full house, sending Hellmuth to the rail.
