Hellmuth and Brown Scooped by Quads

Its not often you see a three-way showdown, with a low on board, that one player scoops with only a high. But Phil Hellmuth's and Chad Brown's opponent got the whole pot in just such a scenario.

Four players limped into the pot before Brown raised from the big blind. All four players, including Allen Kessler and Hellmuth, called. Action checked to Hellmuth on a flop of {4-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. He bet and was raised by the player behind him. Everyone except Kessler called to the turn {j-Clubs}. Action checked to the flop raiser, who bet. Brown and Hellmuth both called.

The river put a low on board, {3-Diamonds}. Brown and Hellmuth check-called one more time. Their opponent turned over four jacks with no low, {j-Spades} {j-Hearts} {10-Spades} {7-Spades}. Surprisingly, neither Brown nor Hellmuth had a low. Their opponent got the whole pot.

Brown went out a few hands later. Hellmuth now has 34,000.
