From the Hi-jack, Karolis Kutkauskas opened to 25,000. Juha Helppi called from the Button, and Jari-Pekka Juhola defended his Big Blind.
Action was checked to Helppi on the 7♦4♥9♦ flop, and the Finnish poker legend bet 47,000. Juhola and Kutkauskas both made the call.
Juhola and Kutkauskas both checked again on the 10♥ turn. Helppi now bet 225,000, and after a fold from Juhola, Kutkauskas immideately forced Helppi all in for roughly 800,000. After perhaps five minutes worth of consideration. Helppi made the call.
Karolis Kutkauskas: J♠8♠
Juha Helppi: 7♠7♥
Helppi didn’t improve to a full house as the 6♣ fell on the river. Kutkauskas expressed great joy as he won the insanely large pot, and eliminating one of the most skillful opponenets in the process.
Karolis Kutkauskas: 2,700,000
Juha Helppi: 0
