Juha Helppi continued his downward trend, but it was nice of him to double up fellow-pro Michael Keiner. Helppi opened to 1,000 from the cutoff, and Keiner reraised to 3,000 from the small blind. Helppi paid to see the flop. Keiner only had 6,725 left, which he swiftly moved into the middle. "I guess I have to call now, since I called pre," said Helppi.
Showdown
Helppi:
Keiner:
The turn and river changed nothing, and Keiner lived to play another hand. Helppi still has around 50,000.
