Hellmuth Gives Up Chips

Phil Hellmuth bet 2,600 on a flop of {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, which was enough to put his opponent all in. When the call was made, the hands were shown.

Hellmuth: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

When Hellmuth couldn't catch a king, queen or diamond on the turn and river which brought the {5-Hearts} and {9-Clubs}, the aces held and Hellmuth's stack shrunk to 7,600.
