Phil Hellmuth exposes ace-nine after Anthony Bruno, known as Slime, shoves ace-six on an ace-high flop. Bruno thinks Hellmuth has folded and reveals his own cards, but Hellmuth says he is still deciding. They agree to a deal: Bruno gives up $5,000 rather than his full shove, and Hellmuth receives the pot. The exposed-card dispute, not a conventional fold or showdown, is what made this hand controversial.
