Myrmo Survives Elimination
Level 4
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Eelis Parssinen raised to 175,000 from the hijack with Alex Komaromi calling from the cutoff and Tomasz Krzesinski calling on the button. Espen Myrmo squeezed all in from the small blind and Parssinen potted it back, forcing the other players to fold.
Espen Myrmo: K♥J♣7♣2♥
Eelis Parssinen: J♠10♥9♥9♦
Parssinen's pair of nines stayed ahead on the 8♠3♠3♥ flop and 4♣ turn. However, the J♥ river gave Myrmo the winner with a pair of jacks, and he more than doubled up.
