Phil Hellmuth raised his button, and Matthew Beinner and Brian Yoon called in the blinds. It checked to Hellmuth on the 3♠7♦9♥ flop, who continued with a bet. Beinner then raised, seeing Yoon and Hellmuth both call.
It again checked to Hellmuth on the 8♦ turn. Undeterred, he fired another bet. This time, Beinner just called, and Yoon quickly followed suit.
Yoon then took the betting lead on the 8♠ river after Beinner had checked. Hellmuth called, but Beinner folded after a small tank.
Yoon showed the nut low and trips with A♣K♥8♥2♣, but Hellmuth had a straight with 9♦6♥5♠3♣ to get the high half of the pot.
