Anderson Ireland bet 6,000 from the hijack on a board of 5♥3♣4♣3♦, Phil Hellmuth moved all in for 20,500 under the gun, and Ireland called.
Hellmuth showed K♦Q♦, while Ireland was ahead with A♣Q♣ for ace-high with a flush draw. The J♠ fell on the river, and Ireland remained in the lead to win the pot and send Hellmuth to the rail.
"I'm coming in an hour dressed as Superman," Hellmuth said as he headed off to prepare for his traditonal Main Event entrance.
