Helppi Yourself

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

John Juanda raised to 6,800 from the hijack seat, Juha Helppi called on the button, Stephen Chidwick called from the small blind, and Jason Les took a few seconds before folding from the big blind.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}, and Chidwick checked. Juanda bet 12,500, and Helppi put in a raise to 32,000. Chidwick and Juanda folded, and Helppi won the pot.

Andrew Pantling raised to 8,000 to start the action from the hijack seat. Noah Schwartz reraised from the cutoff seat to 19,000, and then action moved to Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst in the small blind. She reraised to 46,000.

Play moved back to Pantling, and he quickly made it 115,000 to go. Schwartz mulled it over before folding, and Selbst reraised all in for around 525,000. Pantling quickly gave it up, and Selbst raked in the pot.

Altergott Busts Julius

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Kyle Julius is no more
Kyle Julius is no more

Just before the last break, Max Altergott sent Kyle Julius to the rail. Here's how it happened:

After Julius checked the {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs} board, Altergott bet 26,000. Julius called, and the river completed the board with the {7-Spades}. Julius checked, and Altergott put him all in — a bet for Julius' last 75,000 in chips. Julius sighed and made the call. Altergott tabled the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for top pair, and Julius showed a losing {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Altergott increased to 360,000 in chips.

Adams Takes a Hit

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We arrived as Sam Trickett from the small blind bet out 16,000 on a {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board. Timothy Adams in the big blind made the call, both Sven Reichardt (under the gun) and Ismail Erkenov (button) folded.

The river came the {7-Clubs} and Trickett checked. Adams now bet out 45,000 and action was on Trickett. Trickett cut out a call, than played with 143,000, but eventually ended up picking 183,000 and sliding it forward.

Minutes passed before Adams made his decision, but in the end he called. Trickett instantly showed {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Adams mucked.
