, and Hellmuth needs an ace or a ten on the river if he wants to continue pursuit of his 12th bracelet today.

The river card is the {2-Spades}

, and Beth Shak wins the pot with a pair of queens. Hellmuth walks over to his wife for a moment before returning to the table to shake hands with the other players.
