Juha Helppi Eliminated in 4th Place (€92,057)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Juha Helppi
Juha Helppi

Hakim Zoufri, first to act, opened for 90,000 holding {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. In the small blind, Sperling found another big hand with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and three-bet to 275,000.

Before action got back on Zoufri, first Juha Helppi was to act. He woke up with a monster of his own with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and cold four-bet shoved for 1,463,000. Zoufri folded, Sperling called.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Helppi walked away with €92,057 for his fourth place finish.

The remaining three players are guaranteed €128,147.

Arbatsky Loses Lots With Trips

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Hakim Zoufri folded and Ivan Arbatsky raised to 150,000 from the small blind with {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Big blind Fabio Sperling called with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

Arbatsky check-called 130,000 on {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and check-called another 330,000 on the {K-Spades} turn.

With the pot at 1,235,000, the {A-Clubs} completed the board. Arbatsky checked again and Sperling bet 830,000. Arbatsky called and mucked his trips as his neighbor showed trips with the better kicker.

Arbatsky Doubles

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Ivan Arbatsky shoved from the small blind for his last 955,000 with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Fabio Sperling in the big blind called with {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The classic race stayed a race at the flop of {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{A-Hearts}. Sperling paired up but Arbatsky picked up a flush draw.

The {5-Spades} on the turn was a blank but the {10-Hearts} on the river sure wasn't. Double up for Arbatsky!
