Knaapinen Approaches 200k

Matias Knaapinen isn't sitting on his huge stack waiting for the field to shrink around him.

Most recently, a small threeway pot grew preflop and brought a {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {2-Clubs} board. Checked to Heinrich Mayr, he bet 15,000, which was around or just over the pot size. Action went back to Knaapinen, who thought without expression for a moment before announcing he was all in. The third player got out of the way, and Mayr went right into the tank.

He stood up, he sat back down, he asked, "Do you have aces? Huh?" and received only calm silence from the Finn. He threw his cards away in irritation in the end. Knaapinen went back to his implacable stacking.
