All the Helppi for Yokosawa
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Juha Helppi opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Masato Yokosawa three-bet to 10,000 in the cutoff. The action was back on Helppi who four-bet to 26,000 and Yokosawa five-bet all in. Helppi called off his stack of around 65,000 and the cards were on their backs.
Juha Helppi: A♥A♦
Masato Yokosawa: K♥K♣
It was a cooler spot with both players waking up with premium hands. The flop fell K♠10♥5♦ and Yokosawa spiked a set of kings to take the lead. The 4♦ and 7♠ runout changed nothing and Helppi was sent to the rail.
