Big Names, Small Cards
Level 8
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Bill Klein led out for 15,000 on a 2♦A♥K♣3♥ board, and Phil Hellmuth called.
The river brought the K♥ and both players checked.
Hellmuth said "I have a small pair." Klein replied, "I have a really small pair!" and showed 6♣3♣ for a pair of threes.
But Klein's small pair were bigger than Hellmuth's small pair, and he mucked with a shake of his head, surrendering the 70,000 pot.
