The board was showing 10♥7♦2♥ with Igor Zektser and Sumir Mathur having checked to Phil Hellmuth on the button. Hellmuth bet and both players called.
The turn was 7♠ which again Zektser and Mathur checked. Hellmuth fired again, but only Mathur made the call.
On the 5♣ river, Mathur check-called another bet from Hellmuth and the cards were revealed. Hellmuth showed A♣J♠7♥3♣ and Mathur turned over A♠K♦4♠2♦. Hellmuth took down both the high (trip sevens) and the low with the ace-trey nuts.
