Vihakas Doubles Through Kozieja with Jacks
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Tapio Vihakas opened the action on the button with a raise to 1,200, and Grzegorz Kozieja defended his big blind.
The flop came 7♦9♠2♣, and Kozieja checked. Vihakas continued with a bet of 1,500, but Kozieja responded with a raise to 4,500. Undeterred, Vihakas moved all in for 13,000. After a brief pause, Kozieja made the call, and the cards were tabled:
Tapio Vihakas: J♦J♠
Grzegorz Kozieja: 9♦6♥
Kozieja needed help to eliminate Vihakas, but neither the Q♠ turn nor the K♣ river brought what he needed. Vihakas’ jacks held strong, securing him a crucial double-up.
