After a flop of Diamond JSpade 8Diamond 2, four players put in 17,000 each. The turn card pairs the board with the Spade J, and it checks to Hellmuth, who bets 53,000 from the button. James Rann folds the big blind, Mark Briggs calls from the hijack, and Craig Chait folds the cutoff.

The river card is the Club K, Briggs checks, Hellmuth bets 30,000, and Briggs calls. Hellmuth shows Diamond 10Spade 9 for ten high (missed his straight draw), and Briggs turns over Heart JClub 10 to win the pot with trip jacks.

Mark Briggs  –  580,000  (73 bb)
Phil Hellmuth  –  470,000  (59 bb)
