Hellman Doing More Than Well, Man

A player raised to 5,000 from early position and Erik Hellman called from the cutoff. The flop came {6-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The raiser continued with a bet of 6,700, and Hellman called again. The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and another bet from Hellman's opponent, this time for 10,500, and Hellman stuck around once more.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Hellman's opponent decided against firing another barrel. Hellman checked as well, his opponent showed {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Hellman turned over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for the better pair.
