Three players each put in 4,000 chips before the flop, and they saw the dealer run {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. Jeff Blenkarn was first to act, and he moved all in for 16,500. After the second player folded, Phil Hellmuth snap-called to put Blenkarn at risk.

Showdown
Blenkarn: {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

Hellmuth:

{Q-Diamonds}

Blenkarn was in trouble with his underpair trailing Phil's top-top. To Hellmuth's unbearable torment (and his table's delight), the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

struck the turn like a bolt of lightning, drawing an eruption of profanity from Hellmuth.

After that two-outer, Blenkarn has more than doubled to 49,000, and Hellmuth has taken a step back to 60,000.
