Jussi Beats Jussi
Jussi Ryynanen kicked things off by raising to 10,000 under the gun. Roger Hairabedian, Michael Mizrachi and Jussi Nevanlinna called. The action was on Joe Hachem who hesitated from the small blind.
"I'm gonna call with some of Michael's money," Hachem jokingly said as he opted to call. Ville Mattila folded from the big blind.
The flop came down and everyone checked but Nevanlinna. He threw out 18,000 and Ryynanen called. On the turn the showed up and Ryynanen moved all in for around 65,000 chips. Nevanlinna smirked and folded after about ten seconds.
"No pair," Ryynanen said with a smile.
"You had no pair?" Nevanlinna asked.
"I had a pair," Ryynanen said as he changed his previous statement.
"I believe you, but I don't believe it was good," Nevanlinna said as the two Finns went back and forth. There are still three Finnish players left at the final table, and we could see a successor of Jani Vilmunen who won this event back in 2009. Back then he beat none other than Howard Lederer for the title.
