Rintala Railbound

The news isn't good for Mr. Rintala; he's outta here

We joined the action on the turn in a heads-up pot as the dealer put the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

down on a board showing {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

. Gilles Mammou was first to speak, and he led out with a bet of 2,500. Voitto Rintala was his only foe, and the long-haired rocker sat in the tank for a few long minutes before moving all in for 13,000 straight. After some tank time of his own, Mammou made the call with the covering stack. Neither man wanted to show first, and the dealer had to coax a showdown from the two men. This is not a cash game, fellas; cards on their backs:

Mammou: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

Rintala:

{A-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

It was Rintala at risk, and he was trailing the top pair of Mammou. The river was the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

just to rub it in, and Rintala has made his exit.
