Juha Helppi Claims First Victim

Don't Mess With the Helppi
Don't Mess With the Helppi
The big blind was already all in on a flop of {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Hearts} while Juha Helppi and the small blind continued betting on the side. The small blind checked, Helppi fired out 2,000 and the small blind folded. And the cards are turned up...

Helppi {4-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

Big Blind {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

The turn was the {3-Clubs} pairing up Helppi and the river was the {2-Spades} filling his open-ended straight draw. Helppi dragged the pot, increasing his stack to 20,500 and the big blind was eliminated.
