Leknes Plays the Hero on the River
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Yohan Rascar raised to 100,000 under the gun and both Tobias Leknes and Anton Suarez came along from the blinds.
All three players checked the 2♣8♠K♣ flop. Suarez then bet 275,000 on the 9♠ turn and Rascar called. Leknes, though, put in a raise to 900,000.
Suarez folded, but Rascar called to see the 3♦ river. Leknes checked to Rascar, who bet 800,000. Leknes tanked for a minute before calling.
"You're good," Rascar said, showing A♠4♠ for a missed flush draw. Leknes turned over 8♣7♣ for third pair as he took down the massive pot.
