Juha Helppi opened to 1,000,000 in the cutoff with K?J?10?10? and Brian Rast called in the big blind holding K?J?3?2?.

The flop came 4?A?10?, prompting Rast to check. Helppi continued for 1,000,000 with his set of tens only to see Rast raise to 5,450,000. Helppi responded by moving all in for 13,100,000 and Rast quickly called with the marginally larger stack to put his opponent at risk.

Juha Helppi: K?J?10?10? All in
Brian Rast: K?J?3?2?

Helppi was ahead and remained so on the 9? turn. The 5? river, however, improved Rast to a wheel to send Helppi out in 5th place in brutal fashion.

Level 29 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

David Eldridge called from the small blind with K?J?8?2? and Juha Helppi checked his option in the big blind with A?10?7?2?.

Helppi called a 500,000 bet from Eldridge on the 9?4?7? flop and then Eldridge check-called a 1,200,000 bet from Helppi on the Q? turn.

The 2? completed the board and Eldridge bluffed for 3,500,000.

Helppi tanked for some time, but eventually stuck in a call with his two pair to take down the sizable pot.

David Eldridge limped on the button holding K?Q?9?6? and Juha Helppi called in the small blind with A?K?5?5?. Ethan Cahn then checked his option out of the big blind with A?K?7?6? to send action three-way to the flop.

All three players checked through the 3?8?2? flop to the 4? turn at which point Helppi checked again, having made a wheel. Cahn took the opportunity to fire off 900,000. Eldridge quickly got out of the way while Helppi opted for a call.

The 7? river saw Helppi check once more. Cahn continued his bluff by betting 2,500,000. Helppi considered for a moment, then laid down the best hand to take a hit to his stack.

Brian Rast called from the small blind and David Eldridge raised to 900,000 from the big blind. Rast called.

Rast checked to Eldridge on the 6?K?2? flop and Eldridge bet 1,000,000. Rast then check-raised to 2,500,000 and Eldridge put Rast all in for a bit over 6,000,000. Rast called and a showdown was held.

Brian Rast: K?Q?6?2?All in
David Eldridge: A?A?2?2?

Rast was in rough shape against Eldridge's bottom set, but the J?3? runout gave Rast a runner-runner flush for the double up.

Level 29 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

David Eldridge opened to 900,000 from middle position with J?9?9?7? and Yang Wang defended in the big blind holding A?9?6?2?.

Wang checked following the 4?A?K? flop before calling a 1,800,000 continuation from Eldridge.

Both players checked through the 10? turn to the 2? river at which point Wang checked once more. Eldridge, with little to no showdown value, bet out a chunky 4,500,000. Wang did not think for too long before mucking his hand to send a sizable pot over to Eldridge.
