Helppi Scores a Double Up
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Juha Helppi moved all in from early position for his remaining stack, which was a little more than 2,000,000.
Action folded to Joshua Reichard, who called to put Helppi at risk.
Juha Helppi: K♦J♦ 
Joshua Reichard: 10♦10♠
The dealer fanned 3♦7♦5♣ on the flop, keeping Reichard ahead. Helppi picked up four to the flush in addition to his two over cards to Reichard’s pocket pair.
The 8♣ on the turn didn’t help Helppi, but the 5♦ on the river completed his flush to give him a double up.
Meanwhile, Reichard has been going in the opposite direction since sitting down at the redraw with more than 11,000,000.
