Pot-Limit Omaha

On a {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Juha Helppi bet 25,000, and Bryce Yockey went in the tank. The 2017 WSOP bracelet winner eventually shoved all in for a little more, and Helppi called right away.

Yockey: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Helppi: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Yockey's aces were still best, but he had to dodge a plethora of outs from the Finnish high-stakes legend. The {Q-Diamonds} turn was safe, but the {10-Hearts} river improved Helppi to the nut straight. Yockey finished in 39th place and received $5,628.
