Helou Wins a Multi-Way Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mark Helou raised to 2,000 under the gun and got no more than four callers. Five players saw the flop come down K53 and Helou put out a continuation-bet of 4,000. Merijn van Rooij called from the next seat, and Catalin Moraru called on the button.

The turn came the 5 and Helou instantly shoved for roughly 22,000. Van Rooij and Moraru folded and Helou won the pot.

Van Rooij opted to use his 'rabbit card' to see the river. It would have been the 6, which by the look on Van Rooij's face, wouldn't have improved his hand.
