Theodoros Aidonopoulos opened to 40,000 from middle position and it folded to Alexander Helbig who three-bet to 110,00 from the small blind. Action came back around to Aidonopoulos and he flat called.
A flop was spread out on the felt and Helbig led for 80,000. Aidonopoulos made it 180,000 to go and Helbig cut out a three-bet to 400,000.
Aidonopoulos wasted absolutely no time announcing that he was all in for right around 1 million and Helbig snapped him right back.

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, despite Aidonopoulos only having eight-high at the moment, this hand was virtually a coinflip. Aidonopoulos would make a hand to beat the pocket kings 48.79% of the time.
Unfortunately for Aidonopoulos, the open-ended straight flush draw did not come through as the turned and the rivered. He quickly got up from the table and exited the tournament area.
Helbig stacked his new chips and increased his chip lead even further. He's sitting on 4.3 million as of now.
