A player in middle position opened to 1,100. Jay Helfert called from the small blind and the big blind came along as well. All three players checked the {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop and went to a turn card.

Helfert checked it to the big blind who bet 2,000 on the {q-Spades} turn card. The preflop raiser folded and Helfert called.

Jay Helfert: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Helfert held the nuts and sent his opponent to the rail.
