Phil Hellmuth Doubles Up

After losing much of his stack during play today Phil Hellmuth just doubled up through Allen Kennedy. Kennedy raised to 20,000 before the flop and Hellmuth called from the button. They saw a {3-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} flop and when Kennedy bet 25,000 Phil moved in for his last 112,000. Kennedy called and his {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} was well behind Hellmuth's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. Kennedy needed to find an ace but the {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn and the {6-Diamonds} on the river and Hellmuth doubled up to 241,000.
