Juha Helppi has been down in the danger zone for several hours now, hovering right around the 10-big-blind mark for what has seemed like an eternity. Finally, he has managed to get a little breathing room in the last few minutes. Sitting with just less than 6,000 chips, his patience finally paid off, as he managed a long-awaited double up, giving himself twice as many chips to play with. And he's putting them to good use. Just after acquiring his new chips, Helppi came in raising under the gun, putting out a bet of 1,025. Action passed all the way around to the big blind, who matched the bet.

The flop came out {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. As the dealer dealt the third card, the player in the big blind simultaneously slid his cards quickly into the muck with a slight chuckle, shipping the pot over to Helppi, who also smiled as he pulled in a few more insurance chips.

After sitting very patiently for about four hours, people are now just giving Juha their chips. He sits with 14,800, and has a bit of room to play normal poker once again.
