Helpping Hand

2009 EPT Vilamoura champ Antonio Matias opened for 3,000 under the gun and faced a reraise to 8,500 from Juha Helppi in the cutoff. Matias eyed up Helppi's stack which consisted of just 16,000 behind, before making the call.

Matias checked the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and Helppi bet 10,000, most of his remaining chips. Matias flat-called, and then bet out enough to cover Helppi on the {3-Clubs} turn. Helppi called all in, and they turned the cards over.

Helppi: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Matias: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Matias' speculative straight draw didn't come in on the {j-Diamonds} river, and Helppi doubled to around 50,000.
