Nut Flush for Laitinen

Level 1: 25/50

Entries: 181/185

Jon Persent checked with about 4,000 in the pot and the 8 Q K 8 7 on the board. The action paused on Aklilu Laitinen, who eventually bet 2,300. Persent paused for a moment before he called.

Laitinen turned over A J for an ace-high flush and won the pot after his opponent mucked.

Meanwhile, the blinds increased shortly after this hand. Espen Ringstad and Arni Arnason won’t be joining them unless they re-enter as they lost their stacks during the opening blind level of Day 1b.

Aklilu Laininen – 35,000

Jon Persent – 20,000
