Kicker Plays
Level 2
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Joseph Cheong opened the hijack for 2,500 and Sam Greenwood in the cutoff made the call. Juha Helppi on the button came along for the ride, both blinds folded.
Cheong made a bet of 5,000 on 
and both Greenwood and Helppi made the call. Cheong knew enough and checked on the 
turn. Greenwood now bet 15,000 and Helppi made the call, Cheong folded. The 
completed the board and Greenwood bet 33,000. Helppi counted out the 33,000, double checked his cards one last time, and made the call.
Greenwood rolled over 
but that hand soon landed in the muck as Helppi tabled 
for the same pairs but with a better kicker.
