: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
For the first time in a long time, Juha Helppi is not the chip leader here. In fact, Mike McDonald just sheriffed him up in a big pot to take over the lead.
The hand started with a raise from Helppi on the button to 400,000. McDonald called and the flop came 
. McDonald check-called a 450,000 Helppi bet.
The turn brought the scary 
and checks all around before the dealer revealed the even scarier 
river. McDonald checked again, and Helppi took the lead, making it 900,000.
After about a minute of scowling, McDonald tossed in a single black chip, indicating a call. Helppi turned over 
having completely missed. McDonald showed 
and raked in the pot.
