Hold'em Hellmuth Holds

Hold'em

When Phil Hellmuth held {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} during a hand of hold'em, he couldn't get his chips in quick enough, trying his best to get them in preflop against John Monnette. He would have to wait until the flop though, seeing his tournament life on the line with {j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs} on the felt.

Hellmuth was up against {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, with that flop giving Monnette more outs to knock Hellmuth out. While the {q-Diamonds} on the turn wasn't the worst news for Hellmuth, it certainly wasn't the best, as Monnette could now catch any jack, ace or queen to win.

The river fell with a safe {8-Hearts} and Hellmuth celebrated in his typical fashion as he took the double-up.
