Aces Are not Good for Hellmuth

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The button player opened to 10,000 and Phil Hellmuth raised it to 40,000 from the blinds. The initial player called and the flop fell {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

Things heated on the turn {9-Hearts} after Hellmuth check-raised all in after his opponent bet 50,000. The latter ended up calling for a stack of 193,500 to create the following showdown:

Phil Hellmuth: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
His opponent: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Hellmuth stood up from his chair, seeing two pair in his opponent's hand and his pocket aces cracked. The river {6-Diamonds} didn't change anything and Hellmuth was left with 33,000 after that hand. The owner of 15 WSOP bracelets busted a few minutes later.
