Queen's Taxes

Last year's final tablist, Magnus Persson, made a raise from early position finding a call from Santeri Valikoski in the small blind before the flop came down {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}.

Valikoski led out for 3,500 and Persson checked. The turn {7-Hearts} saw a change of tactic as Valikoski checked and then called Persson's 6,125 bet.

The river {A-Hearts} slowed both players down to check mode, and Persson mucked his hand upon seeing his opponent's {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}.
