Runout Master Takes Chip Lead

Level 28 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Eelis Paerssinen

No-Limit Hold'em

In some blind on blind, and Finn on Finn violence, Juha Helppi raised to 800,000 from the small blind. Eelis Parssinen made the call, and the two went off to a 48K flop. Helppi continued for 600,000, and Parssinen came along foe the call.

The 2 turn checked through, and Helppi checked the 3 river over, also. Parssinen then bet 1,745,000, putting Helppi into the tank. He asked how much was in the pot, to which the dealer let him know he couldn't answer. Eventually, he stuck in the call.

"Just a straight," said Parssinen with a smile. "I guess you can call me the runout master," he added, tabling A5 for a wheel. Helppi painfully mucked his cards.
