Ylitalo Hits the River to Leave Koplimaa With Crumbs
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Markku Koplimaa raised to 240,000 from under the gun before Santiago Plante three-bet to 800,000 in the small blind. Koplimaa, with around 900,000 remaining, quickly folded.
Koplimaa would get even shorter the next hand as he and Robin Ylitalo went heads-up in a limped pot between the blinds. Both players checked the 4♦9♥6♥ flop.
The turn came the 10♦ and Koplimaa bet 120,000. Ylitalo called to the 2♣ river and checked over to Koplimaa again, who this time checked back.
Ylitalo showed 6♦2♦ for rivered two pair and Koplimaa flashed the 6♣ as he mucked.
"Did I need to hit," Ylitalo asked as Koplimaa nodded.
