Juha Helppi opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Cary Katz defended the big blind.

The J♥5♠10♦ flop saw both check to the 8♦ turn. Katz checked and Helppi bet 9,000. Katz made another call to take the pair to the 8♠ river.

Katz bet out 25,000 and Helppi quickly called. Katz tabled his 10♥9♠6♠4♠ for two pair but Helppi took the pot after turning over A♦9♥7♥7♦ for the straight.
