Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A massive pot was brewing between Dustin Helmuth and Kelly Cortum on a board of 5♦7♦6♦9♠. Helmuth ended up all in for 300,000 from the big blind, as Cortum put him at risk in early position.
Helmuth showed J♦10♦ for a turned flush, while Cortum had Q♥Q♦ for an overpair and higher flush draw. "I can't watch this," Helmuth said, turning away from the table to await the river. The dealer turned over the 3♠.
"Yes, baby!" Helmuth shouted out, turning back to the table and loudly clapping his hands together as he doubled up into the chip lead.
