Andy Park limped in from the cutoff and Juha Helppi raised to 23,500 from the small blind. Claas Segebrecht was in the big blind and called for his last 18,500. Park went into the tank and took a sip of his coffee before deciding to call.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Helppi decided to check. Park paused for a moment and bet 25,000. Helppi thought about his next move and decided to put in a check-raise to 50,000. Park grabbed his coffee again and took several slow sips before deciding to fold.

"Ace-queen of hearts one time?!" laughed Segebrecht as he tabled {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him. Helppi tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for two pairs and he needed to hit one of the two remaining fours in the deck to survive. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river was the {9-Spades}, sending Segebrecht to the rail.

Helppi now has a mountain of chips in front of him and appears to have the top stack for the moment.
