With the second shortest stack heading back from break, Juha Helppi made his stand with {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, getting four bets in before the flop against Jeff Thompson.

Thompson tabled the {J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and Helppi's ace-high was in the lead. The final board of {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} kept Helppi in front, and he earned a desperately needed double to remain in contention.
