In middle position, Toni Ojala opened to 525, and Viktor Blom made the smooth call next door. On the button, Juha Helppi bumped it up to 2,125, enough to quickly fold Ojala. Blom called again, though, and it was heads up the rest of the way.

The dealer spread the first three board cards: {9-Hearts}

. Blom checked, and he quickly called a follow-up bet of 2,000. Fourth street brought the {6-Spades}

and another Blom check. Helppi wasn't slowing down now, and he stacked out 4,300 chips and slid them across the line. Blom took pause for a minute before finally surrendering his cards and a few thousand of his chips.

Blom has slipped back to 18,500 after that pot, while Helppi is very comfortably up to about 46,000.
