Helm Earns an Important Double Up on the Bubble

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Brad Helm opened with a raise to 3,500 and he found calls from three other players, making four-way action heading to a flop.

The flop was {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and first to act, Helm led out with a bet of 6,000. The player next to act shoved with a covering stack and action folded back to Helm. Helm called and both players turned up their hands.

Brad Helm: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Helm had flopped a set but had much to dodge as his opponent flopped both flush and straight draws.

The turn {J-Spades} and river {Q-Hearts} were both bricks though and that allowed Helm to double up for 19,300.
