A Happy Helmut

Helmut Waicane just let off a roar of delight that stopped the room. It came after he spiked an ace on the river to stay alive.

His last chips were committed on a {2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop against Anibal Lee. Waicane held {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush draw as Lee's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} were in front.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} but Waicane didn't need a flush when the {A-Hearts} fell to pair his ace to take down the pot, much to his delight. He's up to 52,000 chips.
