Hands #32-37: Hellmuth Takes a Big Hit
Hand #32: Steven Zhou raised to 10,000 from the button and won the blinds and antes.
Hand #33: Kurita Yu raised to 9,000 under the gun, Michael Tran defended the big blind, and then both players checked the 
flop. When the 
appeared on the turn, Tran bet 12,000, Yu called, and the 
completed the board on the river. Tran bet again, this time 32,000, and Yu quickly folded.
Hand #34: Alex Antonios raised to 8,500 from the button, Yu called from the big blind, and the flop fell 
. Yu check-called a bet of 11,500, and then check-folded to one of 26,500 on the 
river.
Hand #35: Tran raised to 10,000 from the button but folded when Yu pushed back with a three-bet to 35,000 from the small blind.
Hand #36: Zhou limped the small blind and then folded when Hellmuth raised from the big.
Hand #37: Tran raised to 11,000 under the gun and then called when Hellmuth three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind. Hellmuth then bet 15,000 on the 
flop, Tran called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
. Hellmuth wasted little time in betting 20,000, and Tran thought long and hard before raising to 60,000. Hellmuth snap-called and then checked the 
river.
Tran used two hands to slide out a bet of 62,000, and Hellmuth called.
"You're not gonna like this," Tran said before tabling the for quads. Hellmuth didn't show, but stated that he had a pocket pair smaller than the jacks.
