Tomas Dailidonis and Saku Naesman, two of the biggest stacks in the tournament, are seated together at Table 6, and a battle of the blinds quickly got out of hand, to the benefit of Dailidonis.
Dailidonis raised to 2,700 from the small blind, and Naesman responded with an almost instant three-bet to 7,500.
Dailidonis quickly four-bet to 21,000, and almost before his chips hit the middle, Naesman had announced “All-in” with the covering stack.
Dailidonis was playing 88,700 total, over 100 big blinds, and snap-called. Naesman started giggling, and Dailidonis said “I don’t have much.”
Tomas Dailidonis: A♠K♠
Saku Naesman: A♥10♣
Naesman was crushed, and there was no miracle escape on the J♥8♠6♥7♠Q♥ runout, despite picking up additional outs on the turn, sending a huge pot to Dailidonis.
“F*ck around and find out”, quipped table mate Matti Lasanen.
Tomas Dailidonis – 179,400
Saku Naesman – 54,000
