Fast Trips Up Helou in Blind Battle
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
In a classic blind vs. blind battle, Dietrich Fast raised 400 from the small blind, and Mark Helou called in the big blind.
The flop came down 2?2?Q?, and Fast continued with a small bet of 300, which Helou called.
On the 6? turn, Fast kept the pressure on with a larger bet of 1,500, and Helou stuck around with another call.
When the K? hit the river, Fast went big, firing 6,500. Helou called quickly, but Fast revealed 5?2? for trips, while Helou's AxKx two pair wasn’t enough. Fast scooped a solid pot, leaving Helou shaking his head in frustration.
