Ylitalo Hits the Rail
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Robin Ylitalo made a min-raise from middle position, leaving only 8,000 chips behind. Fabio Peluso called from his direct left, and Stanislav Anufriiev also called from the big blind.
The dealer put out the 8♦K♥J♦ flop, and the action checked to Peluso, who made a minimum bet. Anufriiev folded, and Ylitalo called.
Robin Ylitalo: J♥7♥ 
Fabio Peluso: K♠J♠
"I thought that was a good flop for me," Ylitalo said when he saw that his pair of jacks was crushed by the top two pairs of his opponent. The turn was the 5♥, giving Ylitalo many outs, but the 6♦ on the river was none of them, and he exited the tournament.
