Kai Lehto opened the action from under the gun, raising to 2,000 with A♣10♦. Juha Helppi defended his small blind with 6♦3♦, while the big blind opted to fold.
The dealer opened a flop of 2♦Q♣J♣, missing both Finnish players and the action went check-check. Both players opted to check on the 9♣ turn as well.
The river delivered the 8♠, completing Lehto’s straight. Helppi tried to steal the pot, betting 4,500 into 6,000 pot, but Lehto raised to 13,000. Just when it seemed the hand was done, Helppi had other ideas, pushing back with a three-bet of 39,500, and Lehto quickly called.
Helppi showed bluff with a smile on his face, but the chips went Lehto’s way.
Kai Lehto – 64,800
Juha Helppi – 28,600
