Kaukua Picked Off on the River

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A pot of more than 100,000 had already developed between Toni Kaukua in the hijack and an opponent in early position on a board of {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts} when Kaukua moved all in for 110,000.

"I was waiting for that card. The best I can hope for is a chop," his opponent said as he tanked for several minutes.

He eventually called with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a straight and Kaukua turned over {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a bluff as he headed for the exit.
