Helder Sliding Backwards

On the next hand at Jason Helder's table, he was once again involved in some double-up action. It started when a player in middle position open-shoved all in for 92,000. Helder was on the button, and he made the call, aiming for a knockout with his {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. His opponent though was in good shape for the double with {8-Hearts} {8-Spades}.

The board smiled on his aspirations of doubling up as it came {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades}. The set of eights is good, and Helder has taken another step back to 615,000.
