Chris Hunichen raised and Phil Hellmuth defended the big blind after which Hellmuth check-called the A♦Q♦7♠ flop. Hellmuth bet the 3♦ turn, Hunichen raised and Hellmuth instantly three-bet. The raising and subsequent calling chips of Hunichen came within a second.
Hellmuth's bet on the 5♠ river was called and he tabled the K♦6♦5♣4♦ for the nut flush and a low. Hunichen had 10♣4♥3♥2♦ for the wheel and they chopped the pot.
Both talked about the hand right after and Hunichen admitted that his turn raise was likely a mistake, and that he should have flatted instead.
"It almost cost me, I would have been sick to my stomach if you had the flush and wheel".
