Juha Helppi Eliminated in 5th Place ($524,911)
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Juha Helppi opened to 1,000,000 in the cutoff with K♦J♠10♥10♦ and Brian Rast called in the big blind holding K♥J♦3♦2♥.
The flop came 4♥A♥10♠, prompting Rast to check. Helppi continued for 1,000,000 with his set of tens only to see Rast raise to 5,450,000. Helppi responded by moving all in for 13,100,000 and Rast quickly called with the marginally larger stack to put his opponent at risk.
Juha Helppi: K♦J♠10♥10♦ 
Brian Rast: K♥J♦3♦2♥
Helppi was ahead and remained so on the 9♠ turn. The 5♣ river, however, improved Rast to a wheel to send Helppi out in 5th place in brutal fashion.
