Fighting Finns

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Table 3 is the home to two chipped up Finnish players, Sami Kelopuro and Jani Sointula and they have just clashed on a draw heavy board.

Kelopuro got the betting started with a raise from the cutoff to 5,300. Roberto Romanello folded, as did Katri Kasper but Sointula made the call. The flop came down {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Sointula check-called Kelopuro's 8,500 continuation bet, but when the {10-Clubs} fell on the turn, both players checked.

The river was another low card, the {2-Diamonds} and now Sointula lead out with a bet of 12,500. Kelopuro sat motionless for 20 seconds before relinquishing his hand. First blood in the battle of the Finns goes to Sointula.
