Mykkanen Stays Alive
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mykkannen was all in preflop after a raised pot got to him in the big blind. Mykannen's jam was met with a call from Ryan Johnson in middle position and Howard Smith from the small blind, which led to a side pot between Johnson and Smith.
Both Johnson and Smith checked the flop of K♣8♦3♦.
Smith elected to bet 250,000 on the 5♠ turn and folded out Johnson.
Niko Mykkanen: J♣J♥5♥K♠
Howard Smith: 7♥5♦4♥3♣
Mykannen faded Smith's outs on the K♥ river, improving to kings-full to score the double.
