Helder Cracks Rice's Aces

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jason Helder
Jason Helder

A player in early position opened for 40,000 and Jason Helder flatted from middle position. Shawn Rice reraised to 140,000 and the original raiser folded. Helder moved all in and was snap-called by Rice who turned over {A-}{A-} and was in great shape to double up against the {10-}{10-} Helder had.

The flop came {J-}{9-}{2-} keeping Rice in the lead but the turn would give Helder some life as it was the {7-}. Any ten or eight would crack Rice's aces and it would be the eight that would end up doing him in on the river. A disappointed Rice headed off to collect his winnings while Helder stacked 2,300,000 in chips to move into the chip lead.
