Markku Koplimaa: K♠9♠

Both players connected with the flop as Pop flopped top two pair, and Koplimaa flopped a straight. Pop couldn't pair the board the 6♥ fell on the turn and the A♥ on the river.

MattHansen

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was heads up with over 300,000 in the middle and 10♠Q♠6♦9♦ on the board when Paul Jurcuta got it in for around 200,000.
