Level 29
: 60,000/120,000, 0 ante
Juha Helppi managed to scrap back and nearly double without any major showdown but that would all but change just before the blinds went up.
Helppi min-raised and Jesus Cortes called to see a flop of 
on which Cortes check-called 240,000. After the 
turn, Cortes check-shoved and Helppi snap-called.
Juha Helppi: 
Jesus Cortes: 
The 
river was already insignificant as Helppi had the checkmark with top set.
