Hellmuth Chops then Doubles

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Getting it in with {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} against the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} of Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth made a straight on the {6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. The turn {5-Clubs} changed nothing, but the {4-Diamonds} river gave Ivey a low and the pair chopped.

Two hands later Hellmuth was all in from the button against Philip Sternheimer in the small blind.

Phil Hellmuth: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Sternheimer: {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board was {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} giving Hellmuth a straight and doubling up. He remains short.
