Hellmuth Misses Double

It was limped round to Brandon Cantu who potted on the button. With the action on Phil Hellmuth in the big blind he reraised a further 25,500 and Cantu made the call.

The flop fell down {J-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Hellmuth moved all in for around 16,000. Cantu mulled over the decision for a while before folding and flashing the {J-Diamonds}.

Hellmuth however was shocked as he missed out on a potential double when he showed his {k-Clubs}{K-Spades} for a flopped book.
