Hearts for Helppi

Juha Helppi raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and got a call from the player in the small blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Both players checked. The turn was the {K-Hearts}. The SB checked, Helppi bet 5,000, and his opponent called.

The river was the {J-Clubs}. This time the player in the small blind bet 12,000, and Helppi raised to 40,000. His opponent thought a moment, then called.

Helppi showed {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the nut flush, and his opponent mucked. He's now up to 150,000.
