The action was joined with a board dealt to a 6♥8♠A♠9♥ turn, and roughly 350,000 in the pot.
Through a series of bets, Juha Helppi manoeuvred his entire 2,075,000 stack into the middle from under the gun, and was at risk versus Dan Smith on the button.
Juha Helppi: A♦10♦8♣7♠
Dan Smith: A♣Q♦9♠8♦
Helppi had turned the nuts, and when Smith found no help on the 4♣ river, he moved his stack into the middle to be sent across the table.
It was not immediately clear which player had which covered, but once the stacks were checked, Helppi had a full double up, and Smith was left with just a handful of big blinds.
