Level 12: 2,000-4,000/4,000

88 players are remaining and we’re approaching the bubble at rapid speed. 55 players will make a profit and you can feel the tension rising.

We arrive to table 12 when the board reads . It’s a battle between Yevhen Pavlenko (Button) and Pasi Laihinen (Big Blind). Laihinen’s bet is 8,000 and Pavlenko calls.

The pot is roughly 40,000 on the turn, and action goes check-check on . On the river however, Pavlenko fires 32,000 after Laihinen intially checked. Laihinen took about a minute of consideration before he decided to muck his hand.
