Helppi Receives No Help Against Aces
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Filippo Ragone had opened in the hijack when Juha Helppi three-bet jammed for roughly 100,000 on the button. It folded back to Ragone, who immediately called.
Juha Helppi: 8♠8♣ 
Filippo Ragone: A♠A♣
Helppi needed running outs after Ragone flopped top set on A♥4♦7♦. The Finnish poker veteran was drawing dead after the 2♠ turn, and he took his exit as the J♠ rolled off as the river.
