Finland's Perttu just doubled up on the €2/€2 feature table at the expense of Cash Game Festival regular Niklas Blomqvist.

The hand started innocently enough. The action folded around to Blomqvist who raised to €7 from the hijack with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} before Perttu called with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} from the small blind.

Blomqvist became a 90 percent favorite to win the hand after the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} appeared on the flop. Perttu check-called a bet of €7 from his opponent before things began to get more interesting on later streets.

The {8-Diamonds} appeared on the turn to transform Perttu from a huge underdog into an overwhelming 81 percent favorite with a full house. Perttu checked once again and called after Blomqvist fired out a bet of €25.

Perttu checked again when the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Blomqvist bet €33 and was faced with a difficult decision after Perttu jammed all in for about €170. Blomqvist tanked for a minute before he opted to call and Perttu was awarded a big pot.
