Guagenti Continuing in the Right Direction; Helppi on the Short Stack
Nick Guagenti continued to be on a bit of a heater, winning more pots to get himself back in the lead.
He won a decent-sized pot off of Joseph Brodsky by turning trips on 5♦9♠J♣5♠. The river was the K♥, Brodsky checked and Guagenti bet. Brodsky called but had to accept the bad news after Guagenti flipped over A♦5x. Brodsky showed the table a king for rivered kings up.
Guagenti won a few smaller pots after that and is again in a substantial chip lead, while Helppi can’t seem to get anything going, losing pots to multiple players. He is now on a very short stack with around 420,000.
