Kalle Niemi Eliminated in 2nd Place (€862,000); Constant Rijkenberg Wins 2009 PokerStars.it European Poker Tour San Remo Main Event!

Kalle Niemi - 2nd Place
Kalle Niemi - 2nd Place
Hand #134 -

Constant Rijkenberg opens with a raise to 250,000. Kalle Niemi responded with a reraise to 850,000. Rijkenberg, never shy about putting chips in the pot, very quickly calls. The flop doesn't seem like much of an action flop, {3-Spades} {5-Spades} {10-Hearts}. Niemi makes a massive 1.075 million bet and again Rijkenberg quickly calls.

The turn is the {5-Hearts}. Niemi moves all in for 2.765 million and Rijkenberg double-fist-pump-snap-calls!

Niemi: {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Rijkenberg: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}

A cunningly laid trap by Rijkenberg! It helps that Niemi made top pair on the flop and didn't see a scare card on the turn. Both players are out of their seats. With just one card to come, Niemi can only be saved by a river ten. The dealer burns and turns the {4-Hearts} to secure the 2009 San Remo Main Event championship for Constant Rijkenberg. Niemi will leave with a "disappointing" €862,000.
