Hellmuth Finds A Double

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth raised preflop to 24,000 from early position and a middle position player called while the rest of the action folded around. "I think we both have strong hands," said Phil to his opponent.

The flop came out {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Hellmuth checked to his opponent who bet 30,000, which Phil responded to by raising to 60,000 which the opponent called.

Hellmuth moved all-in dark for 60,000 on the turn which then came out the {a-Spades} which the opponent tanked but eventually called. "I have a set of eights," Hellmuth told his opponent "You have nines don't you."

Phil Hellmuth: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The river came out the {6-Diamonds} and Hellmuth who started his new table with 30,000 has now doubled his stack up to ten times what it was.
