Karakitukov Picks Off a Bluff from Helppi
Level 14
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With the board reading 7♠2♥4♦ and just under 200,000 in the middle, Juha Helppi checked from the big blind and Veselin Karakitukov checked behind from the button.
The two players checked the A♠ turn, leading to the J♣ river. Helppi bet 175,000, and Karakitukov used two time extensions before calling.
Helppi quickly mucked his hand face-down, and Karakitukov took the pot without having to reveal his cards.
