Helm Doubles Through Bednarczyk

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Brad Helm opened to 5,000 from early position and John Bednarczyk three-bet to 7,600 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Helm who made the call. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and both players checked the {3-Spades} on the turn.

Helm led out for 5,000 and Bednarczyk min-raised to 10,000. Helm pushed in a re-raise to 34,000 and Bednarczyk quickly announced all in. Helm snap-called with his tournament life on the line for a total of 57,300. He tabled {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for the nut flush and Bednarczyk was drawing dead with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Helm earned himself a full double up which slowed Bednarczyk down after his run of hot cards.
