Koplimaa Makes a Good Fold
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Markku Koplimaa opened to 80,000 from under the gun with Q♠Q♦ and received calls from Simon Wiciak from the cutoff holding A♥3♥ and Andre Akkari in the big blind with 7♦6♥.
All three players checked the J♦J♣9♠ flop and A♦ turn leading to the 9♥ on the river. Action checked around to Wiciak who bet 75,000 in position. Akkari got out of the way and after about 30 seconds Koplimaa also threw his queens into the muck and Wiciak took down the pot without showdown.
