Hellmuth Delivers the Bad Beat

Phil Hellmuth had called an opponent's all in holding {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. His opponent held {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. The flop contained two spades to give Hellmuth a flush draw: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. The turn brought the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

and then Hellmuth pleaded for an ace to drop in hopes of a chopped pot. The river was even better when the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

fell to give him a flush.

His opponent stood up and shook the hand of Hellmuth. "You don't deserve to go out like that." said Hellmuth.

"It was nice playing with you." commented the player as he exited.

Hellmuth is up to 40,000 chips, despite his late arrival.
