Laasik in the Chip Lead
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kasso Laasik is in the chip lead with 750,000 in chips with the help of just winning a hand against Jim Johan Lijendal.
Lassik bet 75,000 into a pot of a bit more with the 
on the board. Lijendal went into the tank for about three minutes before he made the call.
Lassik turned over 
for trips and won the hand after Lijendal mucked.
"Oh come on," said Lassik to his opponent. "You can afford it. You just won a hand off me recently.
Coolbet Founder Jan Svendsen, who is also at the table had a different take.
"It looks like you can afford it more than him," said Svendsen referring to Lassik's big stack and Lijendal's below average one.
