Ostlyngen Doubles to Cross Seven Figures
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
With 68,000 in the pot, big blind Sander Ostlyngen had check-raised to 100,000 on the 5♣7♥6♣ flop. Sami Saamanen then three-bet to 280,000 under the gun, and Ostlyngen responded by shoving in his above-average stack of 479,000.
Saamanen snap-called, covering his opponent by a fair margin.
Sander Ostlyngen: 9♦8♥
Sami Saamanen: 8♣7♣
Ostlyngen had flopped the nuts, but Saamanen had plenty of outs with his straight flush draw. However, no help arrived for Saamanen on the 3♦ turn or 10♦ river, and the million-chip pot was shipped to Ostlyngen.
