A Big Pot for Helin
After Antonio Rodriguez lost almost all his chips preflop with AxKx against Joonas Helin's KxKx, he moved all in on the next hand from the big blind. His shove was in response to Alejandro Lococo's raise from under the gun and Joonas Helin's three-bet from the small blind.
Lococo called, then called again when Helin continued with a bet of 30,000 on a 8?J?2? flop. The 5? came on the turn, and Helin fired a second barrel of 80,000. Lococo made the call once again.
Finally, the Q? landed on the river and Helin checked. Lococo checked back, but mucked his cards after Helin showed Q?Q? for a set. "I had tens," said Rodriguez after he was eliminated.
"Where are all your chips?" asked Parker Talbot when he arrived at the table one hand later. "Here" answered Lococo, pointing at Helin's 495,000 chips.
