Ranno Sootla opened the action from under the gun, raising to 6,000 with A♥10♣. In the big blind, Mathias Siljander couldn’t resist defending with Q♥3♥.
The dealer spread a flop of 10♥9♦3♥, giving Sootla top pair while Siljander picked up bottom pair. Sootla fired a standard 5,000 continuation bet, and Siljander made the call.
The turn brought a dangerous looking K♦, the action slowed down, and both checked.
A blank river 5♣ hit and Siljander had one of the worst hands possible in the situation and felt a bluff was a must. He casually threw chips into the middle, announcing an all-in.
Sootla found himself in a tough spot, tanking for several minutes as he thought over the decision. After some table talk, he must have picked up on something that convinced him Siljander was bluffing. He made the call, and Siljander in a good spirit, showed the bluff that moved Sootla in the chip lead
Ranno Sootla – 133,000
Mathias Siljander – 66,200
