Janne Nevalainen Wins 250k Pot. Eliminates Tureniec

Finn Janne Nevalainen has just won the biggest pot of the tournament knocking out Michael Tureniec in the process.

Tureniec had fired out 3,600 on a {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} which Nevalainen called.

Tureniec then checked the {Q-Clubs} turn and Nevalainen overbet the turn, putting about 25,000 into a 20,000 or so pot. Tureniec called and the river was the {K-Spades}.

The Swede checked the river and Nevalainen thought for a momemnt moving all-in for around 100,000 just covering his opponent.

At this point the glasses came off Tureniec's face and he slowly and methodically counted out each stack of chips of the 86,000 or he had remaining. A growing crowd around the table only added to the pressure before finally, after five minutes of thought he quietly said, "Call."

Nevalainen turned over {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for the second nuts and a pale Tureniec nodded and flashed his cards into the muck, leaving the table. Nevalainen later said he'd seen {A-?} {K-?}.

No doubt Tureniec will be very disappointed, and doubly so because he'll be missing out on dinner.
