Straight Flush For Parikka
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
What a start for Kaarle Parikka!
The action was picked up on a 9♦8♣5♦ flop with around 8,000 in the middle where the big blind checked and Matthew Pitt bet 2,500. Kaarle Parikka then raised to 8,000 from the cutoff, which got the big blind to fold. Pitt called.
A 7♦ hit the turn and after Pitt checked, Parikka fired out 12,500. A short while later, Pitt called.
The J♣ completed the runout and again Pitt checked, then Parikka slid forward a time bank, which gave him an extra 30 seconds to think. Parikka then made a bet of 32,500 and without much hesitation, Pitt called.
Parikka then rolled over 8♦6♦ for a STRAIGHT FLUSH!
"What a river. Horrible river," said Pitt as he flipped J♠J♥ for a set.
