If you're going to out, why not go out in a blaze of glory? Aku Joentausta won't be thinking that right now, he'll be ruing his failed bluff attempt.
He raised to 65,000 from under the gun and was called by Ole Schemion in the cut-off and Ilari Sahamies in the small blind. Joentausta continued for 100,000 on the flop and was called by both players.
Schemion was the only player who called Joentausta's 300,000 bet on the turn. The river came and Joentausta "emptied the clip" by betting all his remaining 1,190,000 chips.
Schemion looked like he wanted to call but it took him five minutes to seemingly pluck up the courage to slide the calling chips forward with his for top two-pair. It was good too as the Finn only had .
