Ice Cold. Helppi Beats Torelli.

[user76023]

And it's all over in a case of heads up cold-deckness...

Torelli was all-in, just covered by Helppi, Alec exclaiming, "Are you ever shoving light there? Am I always drawing dead?"

The reason was because:

Torelli: {10-Diamonds}

Helppi:

The flop came {9-Diamonds}

and Torelli hopefully requested, "Seven?" but it did not look fruitful on the {K-Hearts}

turn.

Torelli though said with a smile, "I feel like I'm going to get there..."

But the river was the {K-Diamonds}

and Helppi had his opponent covered by a couple of thousand chips, the flying Finn makes it to the final!

The flop was {K-Diamonds}

and Helppi fired out 800. Torelli called but the two checked the {4-Hearts}

turn and

river down.

Helppi showed {7-Hearts}

, but Helppi had always been ahead before hitting a pair with {Q-Spades}

.

[user76023]

Tony G has changed his top to a green one.

He's picked up the first couple of pots and increased his stack to 12,200 so maybe the luck is shifting his way.
