Parssinen Hits Two Sets to Double Off Karakitukov
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Eelis Parssinen and Veselin Karakitukov both put in 70,000 from the blinds as they went heads-up to the 9♦8♠5♥ flop.
Parssinen playfully tried to shield himself from Karakitukov's view as the Bulgarian threw in 75,000. Parssinen then moved all in for 121,000 and Karakitukov called.
Eelis Parssinen: 10♥10♦9♠9♥
Veselin Karakitukov: A♥K♥K♣5♦
Parssinen had spiked a set of nines to take the lead over Karakitukov's kings. The board ran out 10♣3♦ and Parssinen improved to a set of tens to win the pot and secure the massive double up.
