Justin Ligeri
Justin Ligeri

Lander Lijo opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Juha Helppi called. Justin Ligeri called in the hijack before Holst used two time extension before moving all in for 50,000.

Lijo folded and Helppi called, as did Ligeri.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Helppi moved all in. Ligeri called.

Kristina Holst: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Juha Helppi: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Justin Ligeri: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The turn {q-Diamonds} gave Ligeri a flush and the {5-Clubs} was a brick, eliminating Helppi and Holst from the tournament.
