Cheer up Phil! You flopped the nuts!
Cheer up Phil! You flopped the nuts!

Pot-Limit Omaha

When we reached Table 366, the flop had already fallen {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}. Lee Goldman checked, Phil Hellmuth bet, and Goldman potted. Hellmuth got it all in, and Goldman called.

Hellmuth: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Goldman: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Hellmuth had the nuts, but Goldman was drawing to the nut flush. The turn and river both bricked {5-Clubs}, {9-Hearts} respectively, Goldman was eliminated and Hellmuth shipped the pot.
