Leinonen Doubles on Bubble with Aces

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joris Ruijs opened for 10,000 on the button before Santtu Leinonen jammed from the big blind for 44,500. Ruijs called and the players were asked not to turn over their hands until the action was over at the other two tables.

Two minutes later, the players were instructed to turn over their cards. Leinonen turned over poker's best starting hand in {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and was in good shape to double up with Ruijs turning over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

Leinonen survived and doubled up as the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts} board was a safe one for the Finn.
