Leinonen Puts Arieh to a Decision
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Josh Arieh raised to 25,000 under the gun and only Santtu Leinonen came along from the small blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♣7♣3♦ and Leinonen check-called a bet of 35,000.
When the A♦ fell on the turn, Leinonen checked again before Arieh stepped up the pressure with a bet of 125,000. Leinonen took a few moments and made the call.
The 4♦ completed the board on the river and Leinonen paused for a brief second before announcing "pot," putting out a bet of 390,000.
Arieh went deep into the tank, giving Leinonen a fierce stare down, and after about two minutes, he sent his cards into the muck.
