Double-Up for Laihinen
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Mikko Ylamaki opened to 120,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 280,000 from Pasi Laihinen in the big blind.
Ylamaki took a brief moment for thought before four-bet jamming to 1,900,000 with the covering stack, and Laihinen quickly got his 990,000 total stack into the middle.
Pasi Laihinen: K♦K♣
Mikko Ylamaki: 7♥7♣
Laihinen had Ylamaki crushed, although the 9♦8♣5♦ flop was sweaty, giving Ylamaki outs to the straight.
The K♥ turn improved Laihinen to top set, and the 3♠ river was a brick to confirm his double-up.
