Pärssinen Can't Bluff Helppi
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
On the tail end of a A♥K♠2♥5♠Q♥ river, Eelis Pärssinen in the big blind asked for the size of the pot and then bet 900,000 into around 1.4 million. Juha Helppi called on the button eventually and Pärssinen showed K♥J♠6♠5♣ for kings and fives with the nut flush blocker.
Helppi had that beat with K♦10♥8♥6♣ for the flush and scooped the pot, as he said "almost folded" to his fellow countryman.
Pärssinen replied "looked like it" and dropped back into the middle of the pack.
