Laihinen Wins with Top Two Pair
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Johan Schultz-Pedersen opened from the hijack and picked up two callers.
All three players checked the K♦8♠10♠ flop.
On the 4♥ turn, Pasi Laihinen led for 40,000. Schultz-Pedersen folded, but Dimitrios Gkatzas called.
The 6♥ river brought more action as Laihinen fired a hefty 150,000 bet. Gkatzas went deep into the tank, using two time bank cards before calling. Laihinen revealed K♠10♥ for the top two pair, enough to send Gkatzas’ hand to the muck.
