Khoroshenin Dusts Off Helppi

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Juha Helppi

In the last hand of the previous level, Sergi Reixach opened to 6,500 under the gun, Ole Schemion three-bet to 21,500 in middle position, Juha Helppi four-bet shoved 105,000 in late position and Khoroshenin came over the top behind him. Both Reixach and Schemion got out of the way.

Juha Helppi: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Oleksii Khoroshenin: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Both Helppi and Khoroshenin improved on the {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, leaving the Finn with just one out. It didn't come on the {Q-Diamonds} turn nor {10-Hearts} river and he was eliminated. Reixach and Schemion both let out a chuckle as they folded an ace.

PokerNews recently sat down with Helppi to talk about his two-decade career. Read more about it here.
