Lehto doubles from the brink
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Luuk van den Belt limped in from the hijack, "Sonic" limped behind from the cutoff, Jonas Kronwitter limped from the small blind and Kai Lehto checked from the big blind.
The flop came A♦A♣3♣. Action checked around to "Sonic", who bet 3,000. Kronwitter folded before Lehto shoved with his remaining 11,000 chips. Van den Belt folded, and "Sonic" called with a covering stack.
Kai Lehto: A♥9♦5♣3♦ 
"Sonic": Q♠Q♥8♦8♣
"Sonic" was drawing nearly dead against Lehto's flopped full house, and after failing to make running quads on the 2♠9♣ runout Lehto doubled up his short stack.
