Ekrem Bozkurt raised to 1,000 on the button, and Eugene Teibloom called from the small blind. Phil Hellmuth, sporting a gold-and-black superhero outfit complete with inflatable muscles, defended his big blind.

When the action checked to Bozkurt on the Q104 flop, he bet 1,700. Teibloom folded, but Hellmuth stuck around with a call.

The 10 turn checked through before the 3 completed the board. Hellmuth led out for 3,000, which was enough to get Bozkurt to fold.

In true superhero fashion, Hellmuth couldn't resist revealing a little of his secret identity, flashing QxJx as he dragged in the pot.
