Loikkanen Doubles Through Sotiropoulos

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

PLO

Georgios Sotiropoulos made it 3,200 on his button and Arto Loikkanen potted from the big blind. Sotiropoulos matched the 10,200-raise and they went to the {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades} flop where Loikkanen announced pot, betting all in for 19,100. Sotiropoulos tanked for over a minute and then slid a pile of chips towards the middle of the table.

Sotiropoulos: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Loikkanen: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Both players flopped top pair with the top kicker but Loikkanen also had an open-ended straight draw. The {7-Hearts} turn changed nothing but Loikkanen hit his straight on the {10-Clubs} river and doubled.
