Schemion Doubles Parssinen

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

Ole Schemion opened for 4,000 from the hijack before he called a three-bet jam to 42,112 by Eelis Parssinen from the cutoff

Eelis Parssinen: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Ole Schemion: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

It wasn't looking good for Parssinen when the chips got in but the {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} had other ideas as it gave him a flush and a double against Schemion.
