Finnish Staredown

With Jani Vilmunen, Ville Haavisto and Howard Lederer limping in and Aarno Kivelio checking his option, four players saw an {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. The action checked round to Haavisto on the button who made it 43,000 to go. Villmunen was the only caller. Then, on the {3-Hearts} turn, Haavisto fired again, this time 124,000.

Vilmunen gave him a stare so icy it would have made the Fonz crumble, but Haaviso remained composed under pressure. The other players twiddled their thumbs, but no one called the clock, and although he continued to stare menacingly at his fellow countryman for a good few minutes, Villmunen finally relinquished his hand.
