Hellmuth Runs into Brunson's Nuts

Omaha 8/b:

Todd Brunson and Phil Hellmuth capped the betting pre-flop, putting in 7,200 apiece. Brunson led out on the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and Hellmuth called. The turn was the {7-Spades} and Brunson fired again, Hellmuth making the call. When the {10-Diamonds} hit the river, Brunson bet out a third time.

"Wow," Hellmuth said with a sigh. Nevertheless, he made the call.

"Nut-nut," Brunson said, which is not really what you want to hear in this situation. Brunson showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nut flush and the nut low and scooped.
