On Blinds 60,000/120,000 in the €350 Mini Main Event, Finland’s Ville-Tapio Mesiranta made it 240,000 from the Cut-off. Seated on the Button, Estonian Hannes Kert three-bet to 635,000. After spending three minutes in the tank, Mesiranta forced his opponent all in for 2,705,000 in total. After a heavy sigh and some consideration, Kert made the call.
Ville-Tapio Mesiranta: A♦3♦
Hannes Kert: 9♠9♣
Kert was ahead, but the 10♥3♥5♦ flop wasn’t the worst one possible for Mesiranta. The 7♦ turn gave him even more hope, but the 2♥ river ultimately secured Kert a full double-up. “Sick call,” Mesiranta saluted his opponent, gracious in defeat.
Kert is now up to 5,710,000, while Mesiranta plays 730,000.
