Lankinen Bluffs Himself to the Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Yiwen Yuan raised to 10,000 from middle position. Tommi Lankinen flat-called in the hijack, and the pair went heads up to the 4♠3♦9♥ flop.
Lankinen called after Yuan had bet 10,000, and he kept calling when Yuan sized up to 25,000 on the K♠ turn.
Lankinen seemed to smell weakness when Yuan checked the A♦ river, as he jammed all in for 127,000. However, Yuan looked him up with K♣Q♣, and his pair of kings bested Lankinen's 5♥5♦, eliminating him.
