Pekka Ikonen opened to 24,000 from the Cut-off. Chip leader Ēriks Krūmiņš (Small Blind) and Alexander Levin (Big Blind) both made the call.

Krūmiņš and Levin both checked on the 8♣4♥3♣ flop, prior to Ikonen betting 30,000. Krūmiņš folded quickly before Levin made the call.

Levin then overtook the aggressive lead, as he bet 27,000 on the 3♦ turn. Ikonen made the call; it was so quiet in the tournament area that you could hear a pin drop.

Levin contemplated for two minutes before checking the 9♣ river. Ikonen used about the same amount of time before he fired a hefty 130,000 bet. Yet some consideration from Levin, who eventually let his hand go.

Pekka Ikonen: 460,000
Alexander Levin: 269,000
