Helppi Driving the Action

Juha Helppi has started his day off moving steadily up the scoreboard, and he's certainly using his chips here in the early going. We stood over Helppi's table for three hands and watched Helppi play all three from the three earliest positions.

On the first hand, Helppi raised to 400 and found four callers. One of them would bet out on a {6-Diamonds}

flop, and Helppi and the others passed.

The second hand saw Helppi make it 450 to go, and two players called this time, including Viktor Blom in the big blind. The flop came down {3-Clubs}

, and a leading bet of 1,025 was good enough for Helppi to take it down right there.

On the last hand before we wandered off, Helppi opened with an under-the-gun raise to 400. Two callers came along again, and the table checked through the flop of {Q-Diamonds}

. When the {J-Hearts}

hit the turn, Steen Jensen bet 900 and won the pot.

Not the most exciting stuff in the world, but we're certainly keeping an eye on the active Helppi as he splashes around in the pond. He's got about 42,000 chips to work with so far.
