Helppi Three-Bets Preflop and Flop
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Christopher Nguyen opened to 4,200 under the gun. It folded to Juha Helppi in the big blind, who upped the ante to 18,500. Nguyen stuck in a call, after which he was faced with a bet of 13,000 on the 8♦6♠Q♥ flop.
He raised to 35,000, which Helppi clicked back to 60,000. Nguyen called, and did so too when Helppi put in 23,200 on the 8♣ turn.
The 4♣ river saw Helppi shove all in for 36,500, but he was met with a quick fold from Nguyen, who gave up the big pot.
