Chance Kornuth opened from middle position and Phil Hellmuth defended from the big blind. The flop fell 
and Hellmuth check-called a bet of 22,000 from Kornuth.
Hellmuth checked in the dark before the 
hit the turn. Kornuth fired another 45,000 and Hellmuth called to see the 
on the river. Hellmuth checked once more and Kornuth counted out a bet of 200,000. Hellmuth snapped him off and Kornuth tabled 
for a flush. Hellmuth stood up from his seat and flashed the 
before mucking his cards.
As Hellmuth mumbled some curse words to himself, Kornuth finally chimed in. "I usually blame the dealer too when that happens."
"I'm not blaming the dealer," Hellmuth replied, "it's just fucking bullshit. I had you trapped. You didn't deserve to win the pot."
"There's one thing I've learned in my poker career, Phil," Kornuth shot back. "Something that obviously you haven't. You never deserve anything."
