Virtanen Wins From Do

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

There are 21 entrants so far in the PokerStars Festival Manila High Roller Shot Clock, with a third of the entrants opting for some high stakes stress relief by bringing fidget spinners.

While current frontrunner Edward Yam is not one of them Finland’s Aki Virtanen is and he has just won a sizable pot from Hoang Long Do.

Maxim Sorokin was the man to open the action with a hi-jack raise to 700 with Yam (button), Do (small blind) and Virtanen (big blind) all making the call to take the action four-way to a flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

With so many players in the hand, no one seemed keen to bet and the action was checked around to the {5-Clubs}. This saw Do take a stab for 1,200 from the small blind before big blind Virtanen re-raised to 4,000 in total.

This was enough to fold out everyone but Do, who burned through almost all of the allotted 30-seconds of time before making the call.

The {3-Hearts} river paired the board and saw Do check the action over to Virtanen, who bet 6,725. This sent Do deep into the tank where he remained for the full 30-seconds and burned the first of his three time bank chips before making the call.

Virtanen rolled over {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, which was enough to win the hand as Do mucked.
