Wait... I Win?

Jesse Martin opened for a raise from the button, Brent Courson three-bet from the small blind, Phil Hellmuth called from the big blind and Martin called as well. Courson led out on the {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, Hellmuth raised, Martin folded and Courson called all-in.

Courson {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Hellmuth {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Hearts} on the turn gave Hellmuth the lead with two pair, but the board paired on the river with the {5-Diamonds}, giving the double-up to Courson.

Only... he didn't realize he had won. Courson stood up from his chair, gathered his things and was about to ride out into the sunset before his tablemates clued him in. Courson sat back down and sheepishly raked in his 7,000 in chips.
