Renga Traps Tuominen to the Exit
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Helena Ling opened to 60,000 in early position. Kristaps Renga flat-called in the small blind, prompting Lauri Tuominen to jam for 180,000 in the big blind.
Ling folded after some thought, but Renga snap-called with the covering stack.
Lauri Tuominen: K♠J♦
Kristaps Renga: A♥K♦
Tuominen flopped a gutshot on 4♣A♦Q♠, but it also gave Renga top pair. Renga's pair held on the 2♣ turn and 3♦ river, eliminating Tuominen from the tournament.
