Hellmuth Doubles Up

A player in the cutoff seat opened with a raise to 4,000 before Phil hellmuth moved all in for 16,200 total from the small blind. Sitting in the big blind was Tristan Wade and he moved all in over the top of Hellmuth's shove for the rest of his stack. The original raiser folded and the hands were revealed.

Hellmuth tabled {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} against Wade's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. "Wow! Gavin! Gavin! He moved all in for the third bet against me with king queen!" Hellmuth yelled.

The board ran out {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} to give Hellmuth the double up to about 38,000. Wade dropped to 42,000.
