Cainelli Doubles Up after Four Hours

As reported earlier, Luca Cainelli was all in against Ilari Tahkokallio when play was interrupted for four hours. Tahkokallio only had three outs with just the river to come to avoid shipping Cainelli about 600,000 chips, a sizable portion of his 1.5 million stack.

Given the choice to chop the hand and avoid seeing a river, Tahkokallio said since he'd made the call, he'd play the hand all the way through. The extremely delayed river was a blank, and Cainelli doubled up. Hard not to hope that the poker gods took note of Tahkokallio's respect for the game.
