Jeff Vertes opened in middle position to 3,500 and action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in the big blind. Hellmuth took his time measuring his action and after a few short moments he announced all in for 22,500 more.
After a little while of Vertes sitting motionless Hellmuth said, "In the past I would have raised a little less in this game."
Not 30 seconds after Hellmuth said that Vertes announced a call. The hands were tabled and they were off to the showdown.
Hellmuth: 
Vertes: 
"Wow, ace ten?" Hellmuth remarked.
The board ran 
and taking a page from Barry Greenstein, Vertes knocked out Hellmuth with an ace on the river.
"Nice hand buddy," Hellmuth said as he gathered his belongings.
"You were short Phil," Vertes replied. Hellmuth quickly left the tournament area and while he was stacking the chips he said, "Well, that was the biggest knockout of my life."
