Puotiniemi Wins Big Without Showdown
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
John Sara made it 800 to go in the hijack. Antti-Jussi Puotiniemi then three-bet to 2,000 on the button, and Sara called. Sara quickly check-called Puotiniemi's bets of 2,800 on the 4♣8♥A♣ flop and 3,300 on the 9♥ turn before the 9♠ hit the river.
Sara suddenly led out for a massive bet of 18,000. Puotiniemi was a bit surprised, but he quickly called. Sara did not want to show his bluff as he sent his cards into the muck, and Puotiniemi followed suit, dragging the large pot to soar above two starting stacks.
