Sometimes You Know It's Coming

From the button, Juha Helppi was holding {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} when he floated the 900-chip bet from his opponent in middle position when the flop read {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Perhaps Helppi sensed something as he raised when the {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn and then fired another 7,000 as the river also fell favorably with the {J-Hearts}. His opponent made the call, raised his eyebrows and mucked as Helppi has recovered well from being short earlier in the day to now be at 48,500 chips.
