Istsenko Busts Piira

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Sergei Istsenko
Sergei Istsenko

Sergei Istsenko opened to 2,500 from early position before Heikki Piira jammed for a little more than 10 big blinds from late position. Istsenko wasted no time and immediately called.

Heikki Piira: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Sergei Istsenko: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Piira's advantage in the hand when he got the money in quickly became a huge disadvantage after the {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop gave his opponent two pair. Piira was down to just a gutshot straight draw to save his tournament life after the {6-Diamonds} came on the turn.

The {a-Diamonds} on the river paired Piira but didn't complete the straight and he was out of the tournament.
