Tiainen Wins Classic Flip Against Leppalahti to Build Further
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kai Tiainen raised to 2,200 in middle position, which John Sara called in the hijack. It folded to Teemu Leppalahti in the small blind, who moved all in for 25,000. Tiainen reshoved after some thought, sending Sara into the tank.
After some time, Sara folded what he claimed were pocket jacks, leaving the other players to show down.
Teemu Leppalahti: Q♠Q♣ 
Kai Tiainen: A♣K♦
Tiainen paired his king on the 10♥9♣4♥K♥2♦ board to win the pot and soar further up the leaderboard.
