Tiikkaja Calls Sabat's Bluff

Taneli Tiikkaja has gotten some breathing room and some distance from the specter of elimination. In a limped pot between Edward Sabat and Tiikkaja in the blinds, Sabat made it 12,000 to go on a flop of {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Tiikkaja called.

When the turn came {3-Spades}, Sabat repeated his 12,000-chip bet. This time Tiikkaja raised to 42,000. Sabat responded by reraising all in. Tiikkaja, with just 85,000 behind, shipped it in.

Sabat: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Tiikkaja: {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Sabat needed any club on the river to send Tiikkaja to the cage. He didn't get one when the river fell the {J-Hearts}. Tiikkaja doubled up to about 300,000, sending Sabat back down to 570,000 in the process.
