With everyone tense on the rail with anticipation at Phil Hellmuth pondering a decision, he eventually chose to move all in for his last 22,000.

Jacqmin Mathieu made the call on the button, as did Lee Watkinson from the big blind.

The flop of {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} was checked through, but when the {A-Hearts} fell on the turn Mathieu bet out 40,000 to prompt a fold from Watkinson.

Hellmuth: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Mathieu: {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}

"A heart would be nice" asked Hellmuth, but when the {J-Spades} dropped on the turn he stood up staring at the board and commented, "he called a raise with deuce, three, f**king four" and mucked his cards.

Hellmuth walked around the table, shook hands with the players before saying one last thing as he headed to collect his payout; "nice hand buddy!"
