Sormunen Lands Potentially Fatal Blow on Lankinen
Level 24
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tommi Lankinen limped from the small blind with Q♦10♦, and was faced with a raise to 380,000 from Pasi Sormunen in the big blind with A♣J♥.
Lankinen thought it through for a while, and made the call.
The 8♥6♠2♥ flop was checked to the J♠ turn, where Lankinen led out with a bet of 425,000, which failed to shake off Sormunen.
The 5♥ river completed the board. Lankinen fired out a bet of 500,000 after some thought, and was dismayed to receive a quick call from Sormunen, who took the pot with top pair jacks.
