David Lin: XxXx/J♥8♠Q♣Q♦/Xx
Phil Hellmuth: XxXx/7♣6♥5♦3♥/Xx
PJ Cha: XxXx/2♥7♦ - folded on fourth street
Three-handed on fourth street, Phil Hellmuth bet and David Lin raised. PJ Cha got out of the way, while Hellmuth called to fifth.
Both players then checked on fifth and sixth. Seventh was again checked down and Lin showed A♣8♦6♠ for queens and eights.
"That's a tough hand to beat," Hellmuth said as he mucked, dropping more than a third of his stack just a few minutes after taking his seat.
