Shamus

With a board showing {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

, Phil Hellmuth checked and Justin Bonomo put in a hefty bet, and Hellmuth called. Hellmuth showed {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

for the overpair, but Bonomo had the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for the straight.

Hellmuth stood up quickly, kicking over his chair. "I had the nut pair!" he exclaimed. "Players bluff a lot so I trap them, of course," he added. Hellmuth is now down to 6,000.
