Tureniec raised his button and Linde folded.
Hand #192
Remember, this was the hand that the random emailer to EPT Live predicted would be the last of the tournament. What crazy Scandie-on-Scandie action could Hand #192 hold in store for us?
An interesting hand just handed Michael Tureniec over a million of his recently-donated chips back. Starting with Tureniec on the button raising and getting called, the flop brought [5j Jd 5c]. Check to Tureniec, who bet 200k. Linde called, and following the pattern of quite a few of their previous hands, there was no bet on the turn. The river paired the and Linde bet out 325k. Tureniec counted out a raise, and upped the bet to 950k. Linde made the call, but mucked when he saw Tureniec's .

Tureniec again raised the button to 180,000 and Linde this time tried to 3-bet to 500,000 but Tureniec moved all-in and Linde instantly folded. The latter is getting dangerously short.
Linde folded his big blind to one button raise from Tureniec, but three-bet a hefty stack of 25k orange chips the next time, winning the pot. Say what you like about these players, they're not predictable or visibly concerned by the pressure of an EPT final table.
