Thomas Wahlroos raised it up to 300 from middle position and found himself with two callers. They took a flop of {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Wahlroos led out for 650 which was min-raised to 1,300 by one of his opponents. Wahlroos made the call.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Wahlroos check-called a bet of 1,500. The river brought the {9-Clubs} and again Wahlroos check-called for 1,500. His opponent flipped over {A-?}{J-?} as Wahlroos showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for a full house and a sizeable early pot.
