Helppi Accidentally Slow Rolls the Slow Roll King
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Shaun Deeb and Juha Helppi were in a heads-up pot on a board of 8♥10♠J♥4♣3♠.
Deeb bet 2,000 on the river and Helppi called. "I think you have me out-kicked," Deeb said before tabling Q♦10♣.
Helppi looked at his cards with disappointment as Deeb told him "you can't win every pot" and he tossed over A♦J♣ without realizing it was the winning hand.
"You win," Deeb said as laughter broke out at the table.
"I thought you had a straight," said Helppi. "I promise it wasn't a slow roll, Shaun."
"I know, you aren't that creative," an annoyed Deeb replied. "Usually when I say 'you have me out-kicked' I don't have a straight."
"This maybe explains why I'm losing this series," laughed Helppi.
