Hellmuth Lays One Down

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Action folded all the way around to the player in the small blind who raised to 7,500. Phil Hellmuth was in the big blind and tanked for a couple of minutes before deciding to call.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the small blind immediately announced he was all in. Hellmuth seemed almost shocked. The all-in was for around 25,000 and Hellmuth mumbled to himself a bit eventually declaring, "I have the biggest draw in the world" before folding his {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} face up.

The other player seemed sad that Hellmuth folded, so we can only imagine that he did make the correct decision in laying his "big draw" down.
