Hand #30 - Phil Hellmuth Doubles Through Ben Fineman

Hand #30 - Beth Shak has the button in seat 10, Hellmuth limps from the small blind for 20,000, and Fineman checks his option. The flop comes {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Hellmuth bets 20,000, Fineman raises, and Hellmuth quickly moves all in for 139,000, and Fineman calls. While his chips are counted out, he rushes to the rail to whisper something to his wife. He then jumps up and says, "Ivey! I want insurance, Ivey!" After another minute, he tells his wife, "If we lose, I get $90,000 from Ivey!"

Oh yeah, the cards.

Hellmuth shows {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of aces, and Fineman shows {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks. Hellmuth is in the lead.

The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, and Fineman needs a jack or a nine on the river to bust Hellmuth. The river card is the {3-Spades}, and Hellmuth wins the pot with a pair of aces to double up in chips.

We heard a rumor that Phil Ivey has already locked up fourth-place money by winning his sidebets against Phil Hellmuth.
