Define "The Nuts"

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 3,000 ante

From under the gun, Steve Sung made it 28,000 and Phil Hellmuth made the call from the big blind. Both players stood pat and the action went check-check.

"I have the nuts", said Hellmuth. He tabled {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{2-}.

"Phil....you showed a ten-nine there, buddy. You don't have the nuts" said Nick Schulman

"When he checks behind me that's the nuts. I know he'd bet a jack-eight there" retorted Hellmuth.

"What kind of glasses are you wearing, Phil?" jabbed Habib.

Even though it wasn't "the nuts", Hellmuth's ten-nine was enough to scoop a pot of about 90,000.
