A Helppi Hand

Shamus

Juha Helppi

A player under the gun raised to 775, the button called, then Juha Helppi reraised to 3,500 from the small blind. The original raiser folded, but the caller repopped it to 8,300 total. Helppi wasted little time reraising all in with his entire stack of nearly 40,000, and his opponent called immediately for a total of 33,000.

Helppi was in good shape with {K-Diamonds}
