Antikainen Flops the Nuts to Double Through Countrymate Helin
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Joonas Helin opened the cutoff and Henri Antikainen shoved a little under 50,000 from the big blind. Helin made the call which put his countrymate at risk.
Henri Antikainen: A?Q? 
Joonas Helin: 8?8?
It was a fair fight going into the board but Antikainen took a firm grip on the hand after he hit a straight on the K?10?J? flop. Helin's hope of winning the hand were reduced to nil when the 6? landed on the turn, and the 6? river confirmed the double-up for Antikainen.
