Mathias Siljander opened from the lojack with A♥2♦ to 5,000, and Kai Lehto defended his blind with A♣4♠, setting up a battle of ace-rags.
The flop gave both players two pair with 8♠A♠8♣ and a high chance for a chop pot, unless someone really wanted to push the action. Lehto checked, Siljander continued for 5,000, and Lehto called.
On a turn 6♦ both players checked.
The river delivered A♦, giving both a full house. After checking twice, Lehto decided to bet 7,000 into 30,500 pot and Siljander quickly clicked it back to 14,000.
Lehto, thinking how to get some value out of Siljander, opted for a non-all-in three-bet to 36,000, and Siljander called right away, expecting the chop.
Mathias Siljander – 159,000
Kai Lehto – 56,800
