Another Double for Worth

Level 24 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Not only has James Worth just got a second double, it was once again at a cost to Phil Hellmuth.

Worth moved all-in from the button, for 69,500 and Phil Hellmuth called in the small blind before Alexander Lakhov moved aside.

Phil Hellmuth {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
James Worth {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

It came {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the ace-king moved into the lead. The {7-Spades} turn and {2-Spades} river locked the hand up for Worth, leaving he and Hellmuth fairly tied on chips.

Worth Takes From Lakhov

Level 24 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

James Worth just opened the button to 15,000 and Alexander Lakhov defended his big blind.

The flop was {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and when Lakhov checked, Worth continued for 23,000, which was called.

The turn was a {5-Hearts} and this time there was a check apiece. On to the river and it was the {8-Clubs}. Lakhov checked for the last time and Worth bet a smaller sizing of 20,000. Lakhov made the call but mucked upon seeing Worth's {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.
