Helder Holds

Jason Helder opened with a raise to 12,400 from middle position. Action came to big stack Cody Slaubagh, and he made a reraise to 26,500. Helder seemed certain of his play, and he moved all in for a total of 108,700. Slaubagh called to put Helder at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Helder: {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}
Slaubaugh: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

The board would hold steady for the all-in player. It showed up {4-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} to lock up a monstrous double up for Helder. He's up to 225,000 now, dropping Slaubaugh down around 175,000.

Table mate Tony Cousineau wasn't in the pot, but he offered a tap of the felt and a, "Nice hand, dude." As he stacked the mountain of chips, Helder didn't bother looking up to respond, "That was a retarded race. Oh my god!"
