Helppi Accidentally Slow Rolls the Slow Roll King
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Shaun Deeb and Juha Helppi were in a heads-up pot on a board of 8?10?J?4?3?.
Deeb bet 2,000 on the river and Helppi called. "I think you have me out-kicked," Deeb said before tabling Q?10?.
Helppi looked at his cards with disappointment as Deeb told him "you can't win every pot" and he tossed over A?J? without realizing it was the winning hand.
"You win," Deeb said as laughter broke out at the table.
"I thought you had a straight," said Helppi. "I promise it wasn't a slow roll, Shaun."
"I know, you aren't that creative," an annoyed Deeb replied. "Usually when I say 'you have me out-kicked' I don't have a straight."
"This maybe explains why I'm losing this series," laughed Helppi.
