Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Rasmus Akerblom was at the river with one opponent who checked a board of {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

over to Akerblom. Akerblom considered what he wanted to do and then bet 5,600 into a pot of about 16,500. This bet elicited some thought from his opponent.

"Jack-queen or nothing," Akerblom's opponent said. Akerblom did not react. After another thirty seconds his bet was called and he turned over {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

.

"One pair?" his opponent asked. Then he double-checked his own cards and mucked, drawing a few laughs from the table. "Good bet," he added.

Akerblom is up to 61,000.
