Cheong Dozing Off while Helppi and Vieira Clash in Five-Bet Pot

As we were ready to walk back up to the media room as the break had just started, we stopped by the last table as action was still going on between Joao Vieira and Juha Helppi. In what turned out to be a five-bet pot Vieira had 71,300 in front of him acting out of the small blind position. Helppi thought about it for some time before calling in the cutoff.

The contained at least one card interesting both players. The clock ticked away well into the break and Vieira bet out 33,000. Helppi called after some thinking of his own, and the dealer put the on the turn. Vieira now checked, and folded after Helppi bet out 50,000.

You could tell by Helppi's smile that something was going on. Vieira asked if Helppi didn't maybe want to show his cards. At first Helppi was resistent, but eventually he let Vieira pick one card. Vieira chose one of the cards and Helppi showed the with a big grin on his face.
