Playing It Safe Pays Off For Helou
Niveau 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tobias Garp had just moved to a new table to take the place of the departed Vlado Banicevic and three-bet to 125,000 on the button his first hand after Mark Helou raised to 45,000 in the hijack.
Helou called and they saw a flop of A♣10♣8♦. Garp then bet 40,000 and Helou moved all in for 520,000. Garp called.
Mark Helou: A♥K♦
Tobias Garp: A♦Q♦
Both players had top pair, but Helou was ahead with his king-kicker as the board ran out 8♣10♠, earning him a double up.
"Not kamikaze to go all in. At this stage in the tournament I prefer playing it safe," Helou said.
