The Finns Are Taking Control

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Mark Buckley ended up all in and at risk with {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} against the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} of Elias Vaaraniemi and the board of {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} counterfit both pocket pairs to let Vaaraniemi win with nine-high.

Another Finn shot up the leader board in Henri Koivisto and he scored a big pot when flopping a full house against Graham Garside. It was a rough setup for Garside, who held {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} on a board of {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} and called two bets by Koivisto before jamming the river only to see Koivisto turn over the {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} in the showdown.

"What can you do? I had a feeling you had it," Garside said in table chat and shook hands with his opponent before heading to the rail.
