Helppi Reenters After Being Outkicked
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Andras Nemeth open-raised from the button before Juha Helppi three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind. Nemeth put in the call, leading to a 2?J?9? flop being dealt.
Helppi checked to Nemeth, who put in a bet of 15,000 chips. Helppi then raised to 75,000, over half his stack, and Nemeth shrugged as he shoved. Helppi made a quick call and the cards went on their backs.
Juha Helppi: K?J?
Andras Nemeth: A?J?
Both players paired their jack, but Nemeth had the better kicker with his ace. The A? turn gave him two pair. The Q? river completed the board and Helppi was already headed to the reentry desk.
