Helppi On the Rise
Level 5
: Limits 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Juha Helppi opened from early position only to see Robert Campbell three-bet one seat over. Action folded around to Louis Hillman in the small blind who called while Helppi too chose to see a flop.
All three players checked through the A♦7♣J♥ flop and K♠ turn to the Q♣ river at which point Hillman checked once more. Helppi tossed out a bet, getting a quick call from Campbell. Hillman mulled it over for a few moments before mucking his hand. Helppi turned over 10♦9♦ for the straight to take down the pot and leave Campbell trending in the wrong direction.
