Phil Hellmuth had just folded a pair of aces to Qinghai Pan's board with four low cards. "What the f*ck is going on? " Hellmuth vented. "This guy just hits perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. He is probably betting a pair of fives and an eight-draw, while I have aces and a seven-draw."
In the meantime, Viktor Blom bet out on fourth street. Luke Schwartz folded before Pan called. Blom slowed down on fifth street, checking it over to Pan. Pan bet, Blom called, and the same happened on sixth street.
Seventh street was checked to showdown, where Blom's baby two pair was good enough to scoop the pot.
