Allen Kennedy Doubles Through Phil Hellmuth

Action folded around to Phil Hellmuth in late position and he raised to 90,000. Allen Kennedy called from the button and the two took a flop heads up.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} and both players checked. When the {8-Hearts} hit the turn, Hellmuth bet 60,000 and Kennedy called.

The river fell the {A-Diamonds} and Hellmuth bet 175,000. Kennedy moved all in for 510,000 total and Hellmuth made the call. Kennedy showed {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} and Hellmuth mucked in disgust.
