Pärssinen Runs Away With the Lead
Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Eelis Pärssinen checked the stack of Matthew Costanzo in the big blind who has become the far shortest stack in a quartet of misery against the two run-away chip leaders. Pärssinen then potted to 1,400,000 and Costanzo reluctantly folded.
One hand later, second in chips Levon Khachatryan potted to 1,400,000 from under the gun. Pärssinen flat-called on the button and both blinds folded.
The J♦10♠4♠ flop saw Khachatryan check-call when Pärssinen bet 1,200,000 into 3,800,000 and then checked the 10♥ turn. Pärssinen loaded up a bet of 2,100,000 and won the pot without further resistance to cement his status as the clear number one on the leaderboard.
