This is one odd hand. Watch and join us in scratching our heads. The strange journey began when Ilya Gorodetskiy raised to 38,000 under the gun. Iikka Tahkokallio was next to act and flat called as did Paul Thomas Otto.
Flop: - Gorodetskiy and Tahkokallio both checked. Otto bet 50,000, and Gorodetskiy quickly folded. Tahkokallio made the call.
Turn: - Tahkokallio checked again, then called Otto's 120,000-chip bet.
River: - Tahkokallio checked a third street. Otto took his time dismantling the chip sculpture he'd built in order to bet 300,000. Tahkokallio spent several minutes in the tank, finally making the call.
Otto turned over which was enough to win the massive pot. Tahkokallio told the table that he had pocket kings. Do you believe him? No matter what he had, he's down to 560,000. Otto, on the other hand, is up to 1.68 million.
