Akseli Paalanen

Level 21: 1/118 Entries
Blinds: 15,000/30,000/30,000

Not that far away from three in the morning local time in Dublin, the final whistle has rang in the Big O Championship.

Barry Grime bet the flop and then potted the turn for 630,000. Akseli Paalanen had a little more than that behind and reluctantly moved all-in to get instantly called.

“I have two pair,” Grime said and exposed his for tens and sixes along with a gutshot.

Paalanen replied “I have ace-high” and flipped over his .

“Pair the board,” Grime demanded from the dealer and was granted his last wish of the night at the poker table in the form of the river. A brief hand-shake between them and then Grime nabbed the trophy to walk towards the balcony at RDS for the winner shot with a vivid “yeah baby”.
