Ekerot Hits the Jackpot
Gustov Ekerot bet 1,250 at an flop, and his opponent, Ilkka Reino Kristian Koskinen, raised to 4,225. Then Ekerot made a small three-bet to 8,750. Koskinen liked what he saw and moved all in. Ekerot snap-called for his last 20,000. Koskinen rolled over and thought he was good. You could see his stomach fall as Ekerot tabled for a higher set. The turn and river didn't change anything, and Ekerot doubled to around 42,000. Ilkka Reino Kristian Koskinen may have the longest name in the tournament, but he's close to the shortest stack with about 8,500.
