Laurila Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Bee

Nível 40 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Tero Laurila limped in from the button with K♥2♦ and Hiep Ninh checked 6♦5♠ in the big blind. The flop fell J♠7♥7♦ and Laurila continued for 1,200,000 after a check from Ninh.

Ninh then raised to 3,500,000 and Laurila stuck around with his king-high. He hit top pair on the K♣ turn as a reward, and the action went check-check.

The river was the 3♠ and Ninh tried to buy the pot with a bet of 2,700,000. Laurila made it 9,000,000 to go, however, and Ninh quickly mucked his undercards.

Nível 40 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Mark Johnston jammed all in from the button for 19,000,000 chips and Hiep Ninh reshoved from the small blind. Tero Laurilo folded the big blind and the cards were shown down.

Mark Johnston: 9♦9♣ All in
Hiep Ninh: A♣J♣

It was a classic race, and Ninh shot ahead on the 4♣2♣A♥ flop. Johnston could not hit a nine on the 8♥3♦ runout, and graciously took his exit in third place, taking home €232,685 after the three-way deal.

Nível 39 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Tero Laurila raised to 2,000,000 on the button and Hiep Ninh shoved all in from the big blind. Laurila counted his chips and put in a call for his 23,000,000 chips and tournament life shortly after.

Tero Laurila: 10♥10♣ All in
Hiep Ninh: 6♠6♣

Ninh turned some out on J♠5♣4♣7♠, but the 2♦ river bricked out as Laurila doubled through the former chipleader and took that lead from him.

Nível 39 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Mark Johnston raised to 2,000,000 on the button with A♠Q♣ and Tero Laurila defended his big blind with J♠6♠.

The flop was J♣3♦K♠ and Laurila checked to Johnston, who made a bet of 1,400,000 chips. Laurila made the call with his pair of jacks and saw the 9♦ turn roll off.

Both contestants checked, as did they on the subsequent 8♦ river. Laurila won the small pot to gain a slight edge over Johnston.

Mark Johnston limped in from the small blind with A♦5♦ and Hiep Ninh checked the big blind with 10♦7♥. Johnston then bet 800,000 on the J♦J♥7♦ flop and Ninh made the call.

The J♣ turn went check-check before Johnston fired another 900,000 on the Q♣ river. Ninh quickly called with his full house and he dragged in the pot at showdown.
