Leinonen Eventually Makes the Correct Call
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
On a completed board of J♠8♣7♣6♥5♠, Santtu Leinonen had bet 65,000 into a pot of 240,000 from under the gun. His opponent was Mengshi Tian in middle position, who pumped out a raise to 275,000.
Leinonen went deep into the tank. After several minutes, the clock was called on him, but he tossed in a calling chip before a floorperson arrived.
Tian could only show K♥Q♠ for king-high, and Leinonen made the hero call with his 10♦10♣ for a pair of tens.
