Helppi in Charge

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action was on Juha Helppi, in the small blind, who was facing a raise of 550. Helppi three-bet to 1,650, and his opponent called.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Helppi led out for 1,500. His opponent thought for a couple minutes with a confused look on his face but eventually mucked his cards. Helppi took down the pot just before the break.

Meanwhile, David Williams, a few tables away, was raking in a monster pot after making a set of eights and now sits with a mound of chips and near the top of the leaderboard.
