Ylamaki Makes a Big Fold
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mikko Ylamaki opened to 60,000 from middle position and Rehman Kassam three-bet to 250,000 from the small blind. Ylamaki made the call.
The flop came A♥J♥3♥. Kassam bet 140,000 and Ylamaki made the call.
Kassam slowed down with a check on the 2♥ turn and Ylamaki bet 150,000, receiving a call from his opponent.
Ylamaki fired again when checked to on the 4♥ river, this time for 200,000. Kassam announced all in for 595,000 sending Ylamaki into the tank.
After about two minutes Ylamaki folded, showing the Q♥ for the second-nut flush, allowing Kassam to scoop a substantial pot without having to go to showdown.
