Helppi Takes it on the Chen and Jabs Back
Level 26
: Limits 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Hand 1:
Juha Helppi raised from early position and was called by George Chen in the big blind. The flop scrolled across A?7?6? and Chen checked but quickly raised when Helppi bet. Helppi folded.
Hand 2:
Helppi raised from under the gun and it folded to Chen in the small blind, who called. Joseph Brodsky in the big blind folded.
The flop peeled A?9?Q?; this time both players tapped the table.
The turn brought the 6? and Chen checked, then called a bet from the two-time bracelet winner.
Chen checked and called on the A? river, but was shown the bad news when Helppi rolled over 9?9? for nines-full.
