Helppi's Kings Prevail

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

James Chen and Juha Helppi put in 3,700 each preflop in a sequence that looked like a button-raise from Chen and a three-bet from Helppi out of the small blind.

They went to the {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop where Helppi potted and Chen put him all in for an effective 13,450. Helppi called.

Helppi: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Chen: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Helppi was miles ahead but Chen had a gutshot and some backdoors. The {7-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river bricked out for Chen and Helppi secured the double, finishing with a full house.
