Hellmuth Flops The Nuts

On a flop of {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} Hellmuth checked from the small blind, the player in the big blind checked, and a player in late position bet out 1,100. Hellmuth in the small blind raised to 2,400, the big blind re-raised to 5,500 and the late position player went all in. Hellmuth called and the big blind folded.

Hellmuth flipped over {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the flopped nuts and the player in the small blind showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a set of jacks.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Hellmuth moved up to 32,000
