Saaskilahti Makes the Right Call
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Lauri Saaskilahti faced a decision for his tournament life in a heads-up pot against Alejandro Arnold on a board of 2♠8♦A♦7♦3♠.
With over 200,000 already in the middle, Arnold bet all in as Saaskilahti used his time banks and considered calling off for his remaining 165,000. Eventually, he found the call.
Arnold meekly tabled 7♣6♣ for a pair of sevens and Saaskilahti showed A♥10♣ to win the pot with top pair.
