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 
and Sointula check-called Kelopuro's 8,500 continuation bet, but when the 
fell on the turn, both players checked.
The river was another low card, the 
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.
