Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Jannis Brauer couldn't build up a stack recently and had dwindled into the danger zone. He then shoved from the cutoff and Juha Helppi in the big blind peeked at his cards three times. He then asked "can I please get a count?" and the all in was deemed to be for 180,000. Helppi called and Brauer was in trouble.

Brauer:
Helppi:

The flop gave Helppi a straight draw on top, and the turn and river blanked to let him scoop the pot with just ace-high.
