Hellmuth Doubles
Level 17
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Phil Hellmuth opened to 50,000 from under the gun before Ray Dehkharghani moved all in out of the big blind. Hellmuth, with the shorter stack, considered for some time but ended up committing the rest of his chips.
Dehkharghani took one card while Hellmuth stood pat, tabling 9♣8♦5♦4♠3♥. Dehkharghani held 7♣6♣5♥2♦ so was drawing very much live. His final card, however, was the 5♣, pairing his hand and ensuring Hellmuth's survival.
