Ripnick Takes Out Helmig

Roxanne Johnson
Roxanne Johnson
Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

John Ripnick raised to 200,000 from under the gun, and Jana Helmig shoved in her stack for 280,000 from the cutoff. Ripnick wasted no time calling.

Jana Helmig: A♦8♥ All in
John Ripnick: A♥Q♦

The board was 6♣Q♣9♣3♠J♠, and although the table was rooting for a flush for a chopped pot to keep Helmig in the mix, no flush arrived, and Ripnick won with his pair of queens.
