Hellmuth Finds an Early Double

Brett Slezak

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Farid Jattin opened the hijack to 13,000 before Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 30,000 from the button. With the action back on Jattin, he four-bet jammed for 85,000 effective as the covering stack, and Hellmuth slid the remainder of his chips forward in his patented two-handed fashion.

Phil Hellmuth: J♠J♦ All in
Farid Jattin: 9♠9♥

Hellmuth had Jattin dominated and it stayed that way as the board ran out A♥A♦2♥10♦3♥ and Hellmuth got the full double early.
