Helppi Puts the Pressure On

Helppi: have you seen this boy?
Helppi: have you seen this boy?
With the pot already nicely juicy (over 30k) and the flop down: {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, William Thorson bet out and picked up one caller. He then found Helppi calmly sliding a big stack of blue 5k chips over the line, enough to cover both of Helppi's shorter-stacked adversaries. It took some dwelling time, but both players decided to let that one go.

Helppi, by the way, was as impassive to be as possible while still breathing, waiting for their decisions. His reflective aviators on, he sat totally still and I half expected him to pull out a picture of John Connor.
