Kiiskinen Hits Two-Outer to Hammer Hjellvik
Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kim Hjellvik opened to 31,000 under the gun, and received a call from Otto Kiiskinen in middle position, and Jonatan Fors in the big blind.
On the 5♠5♣3♠ flop, action was checked to Hjellvik, who fired out a bet of 55,000. Kiiskinen responded with a raise to 125,000, and while Fors folded, Hjellvik three-bet jammed for around 350,000, and looked concerned when Kiiskinen snap-called.
Kim Hjellvik: K♥K♠
Otto Kiiskinen: 3♥3♦
Hjellvik had cowboys, but Kiiskinen had flopped the full house, and Hjellvik could not reverse the position on the 9♦ turn or A♣ river.
Gatis Popovs and Aki Pyysing were also seen exiting the tournament area from other tables after being eliminated.
