Hellmuth Sets Up Berkowitz to Double Big

Chad Holloway

Level 27 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Phil "Lumestackin" Hellmuth raised to 30,000 under the gun and Connor "NYR9414" Berkowitz called from the hijack. The rest of the players folded and it was heads-up action to the flop.

Hellmuth continued for 35,000, Berkowitz called, and the appeared on the turn.

Hellmuth opted to check, Berkowitz bet 56,000, and the 15-time bracelet winner check-raised all in for 323,543. Berkowitz called and the cooler was unveiled.

Connor "NYR9414" Berkowitz:
Phil "Lumestackin" Hellmuth:

Berkowitz had flopped top two pair but it was no good as Hellmuth had a set. Only a king on the river would eliminate Hellmuth, but it wasn't meant to be as the peeled off instead to send a big double to the "Poker Brat." Berkowitz went bust in 68th place a short time later.
