I found this on HighStakesNews.com. Pretty interesting.... Here is the link http://www.highstakesnews.com/2008/12/21/phill-helmuth-wins-even-with-worse-hand/

PHILHELLMUTH played a limit hold’em heads-up match against a nickname called DOUBLEBALLER when something really odd happened. Hellmuth mucked the hand after DOUBLEBALLER showed him better hand, but the pot was still shipped to Hellmuth:
Here is a link to the hand player at PokerTableRatings to see how the hand went through.
