{10-Spades}

on the big blind.

Helppi check-raised after Frazer bet 12,000, making it 30,000 to go, and Frazer quickly moved all in for 78,000 more.

Helppi tanked for a while, engaged Frazer in a little conversation about what hands he may have ("I'd like it if you had ace-seven or eight-seven"), asked for a pot count, reached for chips, and deliberated a little longer.

The tournament director called for a clock and Helppi, finding himself rushed into a decision, made the call to find himself way behind.

Turn: {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

River:

{4-Spades}

Frazer, on 242,000, now has three times as many chips as any other player.
