Phil Hellmuth raised on the button and Jon Kyte moved all in for 295,000 in the small blind. Kevin Choi called in the big blind.
Choi checked on the flop of 9♠J♠7♠ and Hellmuth bet. Choi called. Choi then led out on the 7♣ turn and Hellmuth raised. Choi called.
Choi checked on the 2♥ river and Hellmuth bet. Choi called. Hellmuth emphatically announced the nut flush with A♠10♦6♦4♠ to beat out the second nut flush of Choi with A♦K♠8♠6♥. But only the side pot would be going Hellmuth's way as Kyte slowly revealed Q♥J♥4♥2♠ for a runner-runner full house to triple up.
Hellmuth kept his cool and seemed content with the big side pot. But the Poker Brat just couldn't help himself. "If I win that, I'm over 5 million and in this thing."
