Hand #166: Saaskilahti Doubles Up
Level 43
: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Hand #166: Lauri Saaskilahti raised to 10,000,000 on the button, and Lucas Jumalon replied by moving all in from the big blind. This put Saaskilahti to a decision for his tournament life, and he took a moment while talking to his rail.
"Let's go," said Saaskilahti as he made the call and the hands were turned up.
Lauri Saaskilahti: A♥10♦
Lucas Jumalon: A♠9♣
The 4♠Q♦A♦ flop left Saaskilahti in good shape, but Jumalon spiked the 9♦ turn to sit one card away from the title. The room reacted as the 6♦ peeled off on the river, giving Saaskilahti a flush to earn the double and stay alive.
