Helppi Scores a Double Up
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Juha Helppi moved all in from early position for his remaining stack, which was a little more than 2,000,000.
Action folded to Joshua Reichard, who called to put Helppi at risk.
Juha Helppi: K?J? 
Joshua Reichard: 10?10?
The dealer fanned 3?7?5? on the flop, keeping Reichard ahead. Helppi picked up four to the flush in addition to his two over cards to Reichard’s pocket pair.
The 8? on the turn didn’t help Helppi, but the 5? on the river completed his flush to give him a double up.
Meanwhile, Reichard has been going in the opposite direction since sitting down at the redraw with more than 11,000,000.
