John Helou raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Chance Kornuth put in a three-bet to 50,000 from late position. Action folded back to Helou and he decided to call.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Helou checked. Kornuth bet 60,000 and Helou stared Kornuth down before tossing in some chips to call. The turn was the {5-Hearts}. Helou checked again, Kornuth bet 160,000 this time and Helou called again.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Helou checked for a third time. Kornuth paused for a moment, cut out some chips and then paused again. He reached back into his stack and slip forward a stack worth 460,000. Helou snap-called and Kornuth quickly tabled {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for two pair aces and fives. Helou mucked and paid the bet. "I had to call. I can't fold" said Helou.
