Too Many Outs for Kurvinen
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Teppo Kurvinen, who bagged the chip lead on this starting flight last year, was all in for 8,600 under the gun. Daniel Akesson called in the hijack, covering his opponent.
Teppo Kurvinen: K♠10♠
Daniel Akesson: J♠J♥
Kurvinen flopped a flush draw on 5♠Q♠2♣ and gained a straight draw on the 9♣ turn. The 4♦ river bricked, however, and Kurvinen would have to rebuy if he aspired to claim back-to-back chip leads.
