Kakkonen Slipping

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Mika Kakkonen
Mika Kakkonen

Mika Kakkonen started Level 27 as the chipleader, but has been trending nothing but down over the past hour. Just now, he had to surrender another batch of chips to Pablo Rodero, who jumped over the Fin in the process.

Once the river was dealt on a {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}, it was Kakkonen who fired 180,000. Rodero put in a small raise to 375,000 and Kakkonen paid it off. Rodero showed {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} for top two pair, which proved too much for Kakkonen as the Fin folded his hand.

Fletcher and NBaba Chop One

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Preflop, Hamza NBaba had three-bet and Fletcher called out of position. Both players checked the {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop. On the {7-Clubs} turn, Fletcher bet 230,000 and NBaba called.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Fletcher bet 480,000. NBaba quickly raised to a cool million, which confused Fletcher a great deal. Eventually, he ended up calling with his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and chopped the pot when NBaba showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

Pablo Rodero: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Mika Kakkonen: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
