Hellmuth Doubles His Short Stack

Pot-Limit Omaha

David "Bakes" Baker raised from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth called, leaving himself just 17,000 behind.

The flop came 2♠7♥J♦ and Baker bet enough to put Hellmuth all in. Hellmuth snap-called.

Phil Hellmuth: 6♣A♥J♣4♥
David "Bakes" Baker: 5♠7♠Q♦A♣

Hellmuth was ahead with his pair of jacks and improved to two pair on the A♦ turn. The river came the 4♠ and Hellmuth stayed alive in the tournament.
