Fast Trips Up Helou in Blind Battle
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
In a classic blind vs. blind battle, Dietrich Fast raised 400 from the small blind, and Mark Helou called in the big blind.
The flop came down 2♦2♣Q♠, and Fast continued with a small bet of 300, which Helou called.
On the 6♦ turn, Fast kept the pressure on with a larger bet of 1,500, and Helou stuck around with another call.
When the K♠ hit the river, Fast went big, firing 6,500. Helou called quickly, but Fast revealed 5♥2♥ for trips, while Helou's AxKx two pair wasn’t enough. Fast scooped a solid pot, leaving Helou shaking his head in frustration.
