Helppi Helps Himself to a Double
Level 24
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Juha Helppi had joked with Bogdan Capitan when the Romanian came over to confirm his double-up and the Finn followed suit soon after.
"I will win this thing," Helppi replied before Capitan walked back to his seat.
Around two minutes later, Helppi was all-in with a stack of fewer than ten big blinds and tabled the K?9?6?5?. He was up against the A?K?K?2? of Peng Shan and got there thanks to the 8?7?2?6?A? runout.
