Hand #167: Saaskilahti Calls Incorrectly

Level 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Lucas Jumalon, Lauri Saaskilahti
Lucas Jumalon, Lauri Saaskilahti

Hand #167: Lucas Jumalon limped with Q5 on the button, and Lauri Saaskilahti checked holding J3 in the big blind.

Saaskilahti checked the 4KA flop, and Jumalon continued for 4,000,000. The call was made, and another check from Saaskilahti followed the J turn.

Jumalon fired twice the pot, betting 40,000,000. Saaskilahti called again to see the 6 river, checking once more. Jumalon took a moment before betting 180,000,000, sending Saaskilahti into the tank.

"To hero or not to hero," Saaskilahti said aloud after taking a few minutes. "You have it?"

Saaskilahti studied his opponent while Jumalon sat still.

"I only have a jack," continued Saaskilahti. "It could be good."

After taking some more time, Saaskilahti announced a call. Jumalon showed down his flush, sending his rail into a frenzy. That left Saaskilahti with less than 10 big blinds, as Jumalon regained a massive lead.
