Saaskilahti Likes the River
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Heitor Maciel raised the button to 40,000 and Lauri Saaskilahti called in the big blind.
The flop came 5♠J♥6♠ and both checked to the A♠ turn. Saaskilahti checked again and Maciel bet 60,000, only to be met with a raise to 150,000 from Saaskilahti. After around 20 seconds, Maciel called.
A Q♦ fell on the river and both players decided to check it down, with Saaskilahti showing Q♠3♥ for a rivered pair of queens. That was good for the pot as Maciel's 10♠10♥ went into the muck.
