Juha Helppi Triples Up...But Still Very Short-Stacked

[user22113]

The player under the gun limped in. Mike Wattel raised to 900 from middle position. Action folded to Juha Helppi in the big blind who called all in for his last 400. Helppi was all in for the main pot, with action on the side. Wattel and his opponent checked down to the river. The board read {8-Diamonds}

. Wattel showed 10-10-X-X for the side, which was no good as his opponent had Q-Q-X-X. Helppi showed 8-3-X-X and won the main pot. Helppi is still very short-stacked, however, with only 2,400.
