Helppi Busts; Cloutier Surges

Juha Helppi woke up with pocket kings and did what most players would do: got all his money in preflop. Unfortunately for him, Eric Cloutier held a couple of rockets in the hole. The board ran out ten high to keep Cloutier's aces in the lead and bust Helppi.

Cloutier was mistakenly placed as the chip leader at the beginning of the day because of a misprint on his bag. Well, from that pot he is now making a push for a possible chip leader as we roll into the final 20 minutes of play.
