Phil Hellmuth Doubles Up

UTG, Phil made it 4,200 to go and the action folded around to the small blind. While his opponent considered a decision, Phil announced "I'm ready to gamble with you." The small blind made the call and the flop came {10-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}. The small blind attempted to make a bet, but Phil beat him to the pot, demonstrating one of his "insta-shoves." The small blind called and Phil turned over {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, for a royal flush draw. The small blind showed the {K-Hearts} {A-Spades} for ace high.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and the river {5-Diamonds} completed Phil's flush. "Phil Hellmuth actually outdraws somebody," said Hellmuth afterwards.
