Hellmuth Finds a Double Before the Break

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On the last hand before the break, Phil Hellmuth and Martin Kabrhel had a large portion of their chips in the middle preflop. The flop came 9♠7♦5♦ and Hellmuth stuck in the last of his 300,000 chips in the middle on the button. Kabrhel called from the big blind and the hands were tabled.

Phil Hellmuth: J♣J♦
Martin Kabrhel: 8♠8♥

The 9♦ on the turn and the K♦ on the river improved Hellmuth to a flush in order to double-up.

"Well played Phil," Kabrhel needled afterward. "Suck out."
