Leknes Jumps Into the Chip Lead
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Tobias Leknes made it 30,000 to go from the cutoff, and Martin Nielsen called out of the big blind.
The flop came 2♦Q♠8♣ and Nielsen checked it over to Leknes, who bet 25,000. Nielsen raised to 80,000, and Leknes took some time before he called.
A 9♥ fell on the turn and Nielsen continued to show strength with a bet of 175,000, but Leknes wasn't going anywhere just yet and called.
When the 3♦ fell on the river, Nielsen reached for chips and put out a bet of 500,000. Leknes had around 1,350,000 in his stack and was considering how to proceed for some time. Eventually, he did drop in the call.
Nielsen was first to show and flipped over 10♦4♦ for a total bluff, and Leknes flipped over a pair of queens with A♥Q♦ to scoop a monster pot.
