Aces Hold for Vihikainen
Level 19
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ole Schemion limped in from the hijack, and "Sonic" followed suit on the button. Aki Vihikainen then raised to 250,000 in the small blind, getting Schemion to come along.
"Sonic" spent one time bank before three-betting to 600,000, after which Vihikainen quickly moved all in for 985,000. This forced Schemion out of the pot, while "Sonic" tossed in a swift call.
Aki Vihikainen: A♥A♣9♣4♥ 
"Sonic": K♥K♦Q♥7♥
Vihikainen faced no sweat as the 3♣A♠9♥ flop gifted him top set. "Sonic" was drawing dead after the 2♠ turn, and the 6♥ river was only dealt as a formality.
