Katz Doubles; Hellmuth Out
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Katz raised from the small blind and Nick Guagenti three-bet to put Katz all in for 22,000 total. Katz called and a showdown was held.
Cary Katz: 8♣6♦4♥2♣ 
Nick Guagenti: A♦A♠5♥6♠
“You’re in trouble,” Katz joked as he saw Guagenti’s hand.
It turned out Katz was right, as the 9♥J♠5♠6♥8♥ runout left Katz best with two pair and a low for the scoop to double up.
At another table, Phil Hellmuth was eliminated.
