We caught up to the action on sixth street where Phil Hellmuth moved all in over a bet. He was called by both Brendan Taylor and Josh Arieh, leaving the two with heads-up action for a side pot.
On sixth, Taylor bet.
"Are you kidding me!" Hellmuth said, thinking he had been outdrawn.
Arieh called. On seventh, both Arieh and Taylor checked. Hellmuth showed 
for a seven low with a pair of fives. Taylor showed 
for a flush. Arieh, realizing he had lost both sides of the pot, just mucked, and Hellmuth and Taylor chopped the big pot, keeping Hellmuth alive for another hand.
