Helou Binks a Double on the River
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Adam Wagner raised to 130,000 in the cutoff and Mark Helou moved all in for 485,000 on the button. Wagner called and they waited for the hand at the main feature table to finish before showing their cards.
Mark Helou: K?Q?
Adam Wagner: A?4?
Both players hit a pair on the A?Q?3? flop, but Wagner was ahead with his aces. The J? turn gave Helou additional outs with a straight draw, while he spiked the K? on the river to make two pair and double up.
