Joentausta Leaves Himself Short, Doubles Up
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Leonid Yanovski and Aku Joentausta had each put in 104,000 preflop when Joentausta checked the 5♠3♠5♥ flop from the small blind.
Yanovski instantly put him all-in, after which Joentausta decided to fold and leave 75,000 behind.
One hand later, Joentausta open-raised on the button, calling off when Anton Suarez put hima all-in.
Aku Joentausta: A♥Q♥Q♦7♥ 
Anton Suarez: A♠K♣9♠8♠
Joentausta flopped the nuts on 8♥2♥J♥, and Suarez was drawing dead after the 7♦ turn.
"Nice hand, Aku," Suarez said to his opponent as the meaningless 7♠ river completed the board.
