Tomasz Kardas Shoves the Turn Against Anders Helland in a Three-Way Pot

With the board showing on the turn with about 9,500 in the pot, the player in the small blind bets 11,900. Anders Helland calls from the hijack, and Tomasz Kardas moves all in from the button for 53,800.

The small blind tanks for a long time before he folds, and action moves to Helland, who asks for an exact count before he goes into the tank himself.

Eventually, somebody else at the table calls for a clock, and as the countdown nears zero, Helland folds, showing one card — the for at least a pair of sixes.

The player in the small blind asks Kardas about his cards, and Kardas just smiles and shrugs as he takes the pot.
