Short-Stacked Lehto Survives Early Stages
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kai Lehto and Jeremy Trojand were heads up on a flop of 8♥Q♦J♠. Lehto made a bet of 15,000 into the pot of 50,000 from the small blind and was called by Trojand under the gun.
Both players went on to check the 9♦ turn before Lehto put in another 40,000 on the 5♣ river.
Trojand almost immediately mucked his cards, seeing Lehto, who started the day with 13 big blinds, chip up to about half the average stack.
