Pihela Runs into Rockets
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Igor Pihela opened to 50,000 from the button, and received a call from Mikko Ylamaki in the small blind, before Pasi Sormunen produced a three-bet to 205,000 from the big blind. Ylamaki folded but Pihela called.
On the 8♦7♠4♣ flop, Sormunen continued with a bet of 200,000, and called after Pihela moved all in for 290,000.
Igor Pihela: 8♠6♠ 
Pasi Sormunen: A♥A♦
Pihela had top pair and a gutshot but was in bad shape versus Sormunen's aces, and the K♥ turn and J♠ river confirmed his exit.
