Jyri Merivirta: 
Dinesh Alt: 
Merivirta was in awful shape. The flop came 
which helped nobody. The 
turn gave both players top pair but Alt was still way out in front. However the river was the 
which gave the board a flush which kept Merivirta alive with a chop pot.
Alt said to his tablemates "Feels better than a queen on the river" as both players received their share of the blinds.
