Level 30 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

In a limped pot preflop, Eelis Parssinen checked over to Juha Helppi on a board reading 8♠Q♣5♥. Helppi bet out for 500,000, and Parssinen made the call.

The 2♦ turn checked through to the 6♣ river, and Parssinen checked for a third time. Helppi chucked out a bet of 1,900,000, and Parssinen flicked in a chip to signify a call. He saw the bad news, as Helppi turned over 6♥2♥ for a running two pair.
