Helppi Makes a Reluctant Call to Bust Hirsh

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Josh Reichard raised to 28,000 in the hijack and Juha Helppi called on the button. Daniel Hirsh then potted to 116,000 in the big blind, and only Helppi called.

Hirsh then moved all in for 110,000 on the 6QJ flop. "That's exactly the flop I didn't want. I don't think I'm going to fold, but I don't want to call," Helppi said as he stuck in the chips to put Hirsh at risk.

Daniel Hirsh: AAQ9 All in
Juha Helppi: J987

Hirsh was ahead with his aces, but the 10 turn gave Helppi a straight. The river was the 2 and Hirsh reached across to shake Helppi's hand before making his exit a few spots off the money.
