Leinonen Eventually Makes the Correct Call

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On a completed board of J8765, Santtu Leinonen had bet 65,000 into a pot of 240,000 from under the gun. His opponent was Mengshi Tian in middle position, who pumped out a raise to 275,000.

Leinonen went deep into the tank. After several minutes, the clock was called on him, but he tossed in a calling chip before a floorperson arrived.

Tian could only show KQ for king-high, and Leinonen made the hero call with his 1010 for a pair of tens.
