Entries: 74/328
Pavel Chalupka opened for 5,500 from middle position and was called by Veli-Pekka Alakorva from the hijack. Henri Wagner three-bet jammed for 53,000 from the cutoff. Chalupka folded and the entire poker room took notice of Alakorva screaming in Finnish as he called.
Henri Wagner: 9 9
Veli-Pekka Alakorva: K Q
The dealer was about to start dealing the board before momentarily stopping.
"Slowly, slowly, please," requested Alakorva.
Alakorva pulled out ahead as a king was the first card dealt slowly out of the window on the K 8 Q flop which gave him two-pair.
The Q turn further improved Alakorva to a full house and Wagner was drawing dead.
"Too easy," Alakorva said loudly enough to get laughs tables away from the action.
The J river completed the board and expect more excitement from Alakorva who was north of 150,000 in chips after the hand.
