Close (to a) Call

A few chips headed towards Magnus Persson on Table 4, after a preflop raise to 325 from Vivek Rajkumar was called in three spots. He declined to bet the {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop, however, instead getting out of the way as Santeri Valikoski bet 1,800 and Persson made the call (after checking to the raiser).

The turn brought the {10-Clubs} and a double check, but on the {6-Spades} river it was Persson's turn to bet - just 1,250. Back to Valikoski, who provided the WSOPE Day 1b with its first intense dwell, to my knowledge, even counting out the call and looking like he was really going to make it, before suddenly thinking better of it and mucking his hand.
