Helou Hits River in Flip
Nível 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mark Helou open-raised to 50,000 chips from the button and Vlado Banicevic inquired about his opponent's stack, which was 405,000, before putting him all-in from the big blind.
Helou thought it over for a bit but ended up calling for his tournament life.
Mark Helou: A♠J♣
Vlado Banicevic: 7♦7♣
Banicevic's pair remained the best hand up until the turn on 4♣6♠8♥3♠, but the J♠ river saw Helou make the better hand. Banicevic let out an agonized groan as he counted out the chips he owed and paid Helou.
