Chan completed on the button and Hellmuth checked his option.

The flop came and Hellmuth checked to Chan who bet 50,000. Hellmuth called and the two players saw the on the turn. Once again Hellmuth checked to Chan and this time Chan fired out 250,000. Hellmuth asked for a chip count on Chan's remaining stack and found he had 255,000 behind. He decided to move all in and Chan thought for a minute before calling.

Hellmuth had second pair and a flush draw with which was well ahead of the holdings of Chan. The two time champion needed a non-diamond three, four or five in order to stay alive.

Sure enough the dealer peeled the giving Chan one of the few cards he needed and he has now doubled up to 1,250,000. Hellmuth is left with just 500,000.
