Overwhelming Lead for Puustinen

Level 42 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Reason had to forfeit another 75,000 on the river of a {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} board as Henri Puustinen tabled the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for the top pair in order to grab yet another pot. With higher blinds approaching, Reason will be under pressure very shortly.

Reason Loses More to Puustinen

Level 41 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Reason defended the big blind against a button raise by Henri Puustinen and checked the {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. Puustinen made it 37,000 to go and earned a call for them to check down the {j-Spades} on the turn. Reason bet the {q-Clubs} river for 75,000 and earned an instant call to reveal {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a pair of sevens.

Puustinen had that beat with the {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of jacks.
