Sixes Good Enough for Tanemura
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kazuyuki Tanemura opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Juha Helppi was his only caller in the big blind.
A A♣2♦7♦ flop saw the Japanese again lead out to 6,000 after it was checked to him. Helppi called and it went to a turn.
The 5♥ came and Helppi checked it once more to Tanemura. The bet this time was 13,000, which was again called by the Finn.
Both checked down on the Q♠ river. Helppi tabled J♦5♦, but Tanemura took it down with 6♠6♦ just before the break.
