Hellmuth Takes a Hit

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When we reached the table, the board was {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and there was roughly 50,000 in the middle. Phil Hellmuth and Matthew Parry both checked, and the river was the {5-Spades}. Hellmuth checked again, Parry fired 25,000, and Hellmuth called.

Parry showed {10-}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines, which beat Hellmuth's {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens.
