Pearson Forces Fold

Geoff Paul

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Juha Helppi raised to 175,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Sam Soverel on the button and Travis Pearson from the big blind.

All three players checked the 5♥J♦8♣ flop. The 10♣ turn brought a bet of 375,000 from Pearson, to which only Helppi called.

The river was a 4♠, and Pearson again led out for 500,000. Helppi thought about his next move for a couple of minutes before folding.
