Minna Ritakorpi Busted by Boat

Minna Ritakorpi Eliminated
Minna Ritakorpi Eliminated
We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. All the chips were in the middle with Minna Ritakorpi showing {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the turned straight as Michael Carroll revealed {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a set of fives.

The river was a repeat {6-Hearts} to give Carroll a full house and eliminate Ritakorpi from the Main Event.
