Nevalainen Victorious Despite Counterfeit

Janne Nevalainen raised his button to 1,600. Said Madani called in the small blind and Ran Shahar defended his big blind. The blinds checked to Nevalainen on the 3♣J♥A♣ flop, who continued for 2,000.

Madani called before Shahar folded 10♠8♣. Madani check-called the 6♣ turn for 4,500, after which he checked to Nevalainen for a third time on the 6♥ river.

The Finn tossed in a bet of 15,000, around the size of the pot. Madani spent some time in the tank but eventually came out with a call. Nevalainen tabled A♦3♠ for two pair, besting the J♠9♣ of Madani and raking in the pot.
