Hellmuth's Stack Halved by Yockey

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

With the {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} lying on the flop, Phil Hellmuth was in the cutoff with 29,000 in chips stacked in front of him. Bryce Yockey, sitting under the gun, raised all in and Hellmuth called for about 30,000 more.

Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Yockey: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Both players had similar hands but Yockey hit the {J-Clubs} on the turn while the {6-Hearts} river gave the same low to both players. Yockey took three-quarters of the pot and Hellmuth sent him half of his belongings.
