Rinken Doubles as Tuominen Leads With Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Lauri Tuominen and Mart Rinken had amassed an 18,500 pot when they saw the 9♣6♦10♦Q♥ turn. Tuominen checked under the gun, and Rinken bet 8,500 from the cutoff.
Tuominen called to the 5♦ river, where he promptly led out with an all-in bet.
"Well, the diamonds completed, but I think I'm ahead," Rinken stated before he called his stack of 11,000.
His read was right, as Tuominen could only show a pair of nines with K♠9♠. Rinken had A♠A♥, and his aces awarded him a big double-up.
