Helou Triples up
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mark Helou shoved for his last 270,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jon Kyte in the small blind and Cheng Zhao in the big blind.
“I need luck. Luck is what I need!” Helou said.
Both players checked on the 7♦10♥9♠ flop and then Zhao called a 200,000 bet from Kyte on the 10♠ turn.
It was checked down on the Q♥ river and Kyte tabled 4♥4♦. Zhao turned A♠7♣ for a pair of sevens, and Helou triumphantly revealed K♦J♥ for a straight and tripled his stack.
