Three players invested 600 chips each on the {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Marius Givovanu check-raised the {7-Clubs} turn from 1,500 to 5,300, which only Mikko Pennanen called. The {8-Diamonds} on the river brought a bet of 5,500 by Gicovanu and Pennanen quickly called, they chopped it up as Gicovanu had {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Pennanen the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

After that split pot, Pennanen went on to boost his stack significantly and is among the early chip leaders.
