Kelopuro Takes the Lead
Level 34
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Sami Kelopuro made it 168,000 to go and was called by Joni Jouhkimainen on the button. The two Finns headed to the 
flop on which Kelopuro bet 233,000 and earned a call. He fired another 560,000 on the 
turn, which was matched by Jouhkimainen.
Kelopuro then jammed the 
river for 1,392,835. Jouhkimainen, who only had his opponent covered by one blind, went deep into the tank. Eventually, he opted to fold and that pot propelled Kelopuro into the lead.
