Saarnio's Main Event is Over
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Artus Gimenez raised to 10,000 under the gun and only Kai Saarnio defended from the big blind.
Saarnio started with a check on the 3♥5♣10♠ flop, and Gimenez bet 15,000. Saarnio checked his cards one last time, then check-jammed for about 45,000. Gimenez got an exact count from the dealer then called with the covering stack.
Kai Saarnio: Q♠5♠ 
Artus Gimenez: 8♣7♣
Saarnio was ahead with his pair of fives until the 8♥ turn improved Gimenez to a pair of eights. The A♦ completed the board and all of Saarnio's stack was absorbed into Gimenez.
