Laihinen Doubles Off New Chip Leader Palm
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pasi Laihinen moved all in for 135,000 from under the gun and Robin Palm called in the big blind.
Pasi Laihinen: J♦10♠9♣5♦ 
Robin Palm: A♠Q♠J♠10♣
Palm hit two pair on the 6♦A♥Q♦ flop, but Laihinen spiked a flush as the board ran out 8♠10♦ to earn the double up.
The hand before at this table, Palm had gone heads-up with Taago Tamm to the river on a board showing 2♠A♣6♦10♣9♦ and around 800,000 in the pot.
Tamm bet 650,000 from the button and Palm raised to 1,700,000 under the gun. Tamm went deep into the tank, but eventually folded after a few minutes as Palm won the massive pot without a showdown to take over the chip lead.
