Suominen Doesn't Fire the River
Level 26
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Anders Bjorkheim raised the button to 250,000 with K♣10♦ and Seyed Tabaei just called in the big blind with A♣8♠. The Q♦8♣4♣ flop sae Tabaei lead for 400,000 and Bjorkheim folded after brief consideration.
Keimo Suominen raised it up to 250,000 next with the J♥9♥ and Bjorkheim called with the A♦2♣ in the big blind. The A♥K♥10♣ flop gave Bjorkheim the top pair and he checked, Suominen bet his gutshot and flush draw for 125,000 and Bjorkheim called.
Both checked the K♠ turn and the 3♦ followed on the river. Bjorkheim checked again and Suominen checked behind to give up the pot.
