Igor Pihela Jr. opened the action from the hijack to 160,000 with A♠8♠, and Pasi Laihinen defended his big blind with K♥Q♣.
The 10♦J♥6♠ flop gave Laihinen an open-ended straight draw with two overcards and checked to Pihela, who made a continuation bet of 125,000, which Laihinen called.
The 2♠ on the turn added a second spade to the board for Pihela’s flush potentials. He decided to up the pressure, betting 450,000 into a 1.1 million pot. Laihinen, still chasing, made the call.
The 7♦ river bricked for both players. After a minute of thought, Pihela checked behind, deciding not to fire a third barrel. To his surprise, his ace-high was good, and he scooped the pot.
Igor Pihela Jr. – 4,900,000
Pasi Laihinen – 1,900,000
