Kaspars Butans opened the pot with J♥8♥ to 500,000 and Pasi Laihinen added 250,000 on the big blind with Q♣9♣.
The flop of K♠9♦J♣ paired both. Butans was well ahead with a middle pair, while Laihinen sported the bottom pair. Both players opted for a check.
The 7♥ didn’t change much, but Butans wanted to extract some value with his jack and bet 650,000 into 1.4 million. Laihinen called.
The river 7♦ brought another seven and this time Butans checked back, happy with scooping a 2.7 million pot, while Laihinen entered the danger zone with only 15 big blinds left.
Kaspars Butans – 9,600,000
Pasi Laihinen – 3,900,000
