Helppi Cannot Make the Call
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Eldridge limped on the button holding K♦Q♥9♣6♠ and Juha Helppi called in the small blind with A♥K♣5♥5♦. Ethan Cahn then checked his option out of the big blind with A♣K♠7♣6♥ to send action three-way to the flop.
All three players checked through the 3♠8♠2♣ flop to the 4♦ turn at which point Helppi checked again, having made a wheel. Cahn took the opportunity to fire off 900,000. Eldridge quickly got out of the way while Helppi opted for a call.
The 7♠ river saw Helppi check once more. Cahn continued his bluff by betting 2,500,000. Helppi considered for a moment, then laid down the best hand to take a hit to his stack.
