Spicy Hot

Spicy hot preflop action now as Howard Lederer button raised to 90,000, Aarno Kivelio flat called, and Jani Vilmunen reraised to 270.

Lederer folded, and after much dwellements, Kivelio laid it down too.

House!

Howard Lederer and Aarno Kivelio reached a flop of {2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Lederer bet 50,000 and Kivelio called. {10-Hearts} turn, and Lederer fired again, 120,000, Kivelio called.

On the {6-Diamonds} river Lederer paused momentarily before reaching for chips and sliding 250,000 across the felt. Kivelio seemed caught in between two minds. As he tanked he shimmied his cards, as if his paws wanted him to fold, but his voice said call, and Lederer tabled {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Kivelio revealed {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Lederer takes the chip lead.

Kivelio Continues to Excel

After an early slump today, Aarno Kivelio is beginning to return to his form from yesterday and has now recaptured the chip lead after taking a chunky pot off neighbour and fellow Finn Jani Vilmunen.

With Vilmunen button raisng to 80,000 preflop, Kivelio made the call in the big blind and the two players saw a {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Spades} flop. Kivelio bet 100,000 and Vilmunen called. On the {8-Clubs} turn, Kivelio led again, this time for 200,000, and again, Vilmunen made the call.

On the {Q-Spades} river, Kivelio broke his trend - and robbed us of a 1-2-3 of consecutive bets - by checking, and Vilmumen checked behind. Kivelio's {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs} was enough to pick up the pot.
