Helppi Profits Off Larabi's Over-Bet
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The pot amounted to a modest 5,000 when Bernard Larabi fired 7,500 on the J♠4♥5♣8♥ turn from the hijack. Juha Helppi sat on the button and called to the 10♦ river, which was knuckled by both.
Larabi turned over Q♣10♥ for a rivered pair of tens, but Helppi had the winning hand with J♣9♣ for top pair and was awarded the pot.
