Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Juha Helppi opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Eric Garma on the button as well as Ethan Cahn in the big blind.
Cahn checked following the J♣6♥4♠ flop and Helppi continued for 525,000. Garma responded by raising to 2,800,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. That got a quick fold out of Cahn but Helppi did not immediately follow suit. After some consideration, however, he chose to vacate the pot to give Garma a big boost to his stack without showdown.
