Helou Flops a Set on Argyriadis
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Christos Argyriadis raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Adrien Guyon called in the small blind. Mark Helou then three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind, Argyriadis shoved for 140,000, and Guyon folded. Helou snap-called.
Christos Argyriadis: A♣K♦
Mark Helou: J♦J♠
The two players were racing, but Helou took a big lead on the 4♠2♦J♥ flop with top set. The 10♣ turn gave Argyriadis some hope with a straight draw, but he missed the 3♦ river and wished his tablemates luck before heading off to collect his payout.
