Horst Leaves Salakari with Crumbs
Pasi Laihinen opened to 50,000 from early position, before being met with a three-bet to 150,000 from Duncan Horst in middle position.
Viljami Salakari cold-called in the big blind, and Laihinen got out of the way.
On the 6♥4♠3♠ flop, Salakari jammed with the slightly covering stack, and Horst moved his stack of 425,000 into the middle.
While the players were waiting to table their cards, Horst burst into a rendition of My Way, altered to be a narrative of the hand.
Duncan Horst: A♦A♣
Viljami Salakari: A♠J♠
Horst had the goods with pocket aces, but he had a sweat against Salakari's flush draw, and the second verse of My Way reflected the position.
Much to Horst's delight and Salakari's dismay, the 5♥ turn and J♣ river were bricks, and Horst finished the song with a crescendo, confirming he had indeed done it his way.
Salakari could only grimance, and was left with crumbs on the bubble.
