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 Q♦10♣4♥ 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.
