Hellmuth is Rising

MarcC

There was a lot of action preflop before Phil Hellmuth got the last of his chips in on a {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

flop. He had a willing opponent in Diego Cordovez, who had flopped top two pair with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. Hellmuth was behind with {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

but had outs as they went to the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

turn and

{9-Diamonds}

river!!

Hellmuth got there with the flush and doubled to 30,000. Cordovez knocked back a little to 40,000.
