Helppi Takes it on the Chen and Jabs Back
Level 26
: Limits 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Hand 1:
Juha Helppi raised from early position and was called by George Chen in the big blind. The flop scrolled across A♠7♠6♥ and Chen checked but quickly raised when Helppi bet. Helppi folded.
Hand 2:
Helppi raised from under the gun and it folded to Chen in the small blind, who called. Joseph Brodsky in the big blind folded.
The flop peeled A♥9♦Q♠; this time both players tapped the table.
The turn brought the 6♣ and Chen checked, then called a bet from the two-time bracelet winner.
Chen checked and called on the A♣ river, but was shown the bad news when Helppi rolled over 9♥9♣ for nines-full.
