Seated in the Lo-jack, Stanislav Šmeljov opened to 2,1000. David Marfil called from the Button, and Jari Juhola decided to defend his Big Blind.
The flop came J♥8♥7♦. Juhola and Šmeljov both checked to Marfil, who bet 3,500. Then, Juhola completed a check-raise to 10,000. Šmeljov folded within seconds, but Marfil went deep, deep into the tank. He asked Juhola how much he had behind, and being a good sport, the Finn visibly exposed his remaining 15,000. Marfil pondered for at least five minutes before letting his hand go.
“Don’t do it to him again,” table mate Edgars Beizaks said, as the dealer pushed the chips Juhola’s way. “He hasn’t recovered from the hand against Igor,” Beizaks continued. He referenced the brutal bad beat that Juhola suffered in the 2025 WSOP Circuit Tallinn Main Event a couple of weeks ago (as can be seen in the video above). “Did you go out in the woods and meditate for a month?” Beizaks jokingly ended his rant.
David Marfil: 82,000
Jari Juhola: 35,000
