Rawtani Picks Off Lankinen
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After Tommi Lankinen in the big blind and Michael Duek in middle position checked a 
flop with approximately 300,000 in the pot, Nitesh Rawtani bet 100,000. Only Lankinen called.
The turn brought the 
and the action was checked through. On the 
river, Lankinen put out a bet of 340,000, and after some deliberation, Rawtani called.
Lankinen showed 
for a pair of sevens and a missed straight draw.
Rawtani tabled 
for a bluff-catching top pair. Rawtani said as he was gathering the chips that he had hoped it was eight-nine in his opponent's hand. His gutsy call paid off as he raked a healthy pot.
