Hellmuth Counterfeited But Still Good

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

There were 6,500 chips in the pot and the {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop was out when we got to the table. The big blind checked, Phil Hellmuth bet the pot from under the gun, a player in middle position called, and the big blind folded.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and both players checked.

The {9-Hearts} hit the river and they checked again. Hellmuth flipped over {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Spades} for flopped jacks up that got counterfeited by running nines, but his hand was still good enough to win the pot. His opponent mucked and Hellmuth took the chips.
