Hellmuth Doubles In Dramatic Fashion

We caught up to see Phil Hellmuth all in and at risk holding {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Hellmuth was crushed by Brandon Cantu's {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

The dealer pounded the table and produced the flop. The door card was the {2-Diamonds} and Hellmuth heaved a sigh. However, as the dealer spread the flop, the next visible card was the {J-Spades}, pairing Cantu's second card as well. The dealer moved the jack to reveal the third card of the flop- the {2-Clubs}. A more dramatic flop presentation could not have been possible.

The board finished with the {4-Clubs} and the {A-Diamonds} and Hellmuth was able to score a key double up that gives him a little wiggle room in his tussle with Cantu's massive stack.
