Hellmuth Dodges Bullets Baby...21 Years Later

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Nicholas Palma completed from the small blind, and Phil Hellmuth checked his option in the big blind.

Both players checked the 7♥10♠A♥K♦J♠ board runout all the way down. After two final checks, Hellmuth announced, "jacks," and tabled J♦8♠ for a pair of jacks.

Palma had him beat with A♣A♦ for top set and was awarded the pot.
