Former Miss Finland, chef extraordinaire, aspiring music artist and world class bluffer Sara Chafak played in the Finnish poker championships here at EPT Prague, and she was kind enough to run us through all the aforementioned adjectives.
Anton Bertilsson limped for 80,000 and chip leader Stephen Graner made it 230,000 to go on the button. Jakub Slemr reraised to 715,000 out of the big blind and Bertilsson squeezed out a four-bet to 1,400,000. Graner let go but Slemr moved all in for 2,370,000 to put himself at risk. Bertilsson called and a classic coin flip took place.
Bertilsson:
Slemr:
The Swede hit one of his two over cards on the flop and neither the turn nor the river improved Slemr anymore. The local hero was sent to the rail in 9th place for €72,210 and the official final table was set. Play will carry on until the end of this level or until the final six are reached, whatever comes first.
