[user75032]

{8-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

. Tiikkaja called.

When the turn came {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

, Sabat repeated his 12,000-chip bet. This time Tiikkaja raised to 42,000. Sabat responded by reraising all in. Tiikkaja, with just 85,000 behind, shipped it in.

Sabat: {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

Tiikkaja:

{10-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

Sabat needed any club on the river to send Tiikkaja to the cage. He didn't get one when the river fell the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

. Tiikkaja doubled up to about 300,000, sending Sabat back down to 570,000 in the process.
