Entries: 48/328

Ville Konttinen had his stack of about 160,000 in the middle with the 8 9 6 already dealt on the flop and very little in the pot from preflop betting and was up against Day 1 chip leader Jarmo Salonen.

Ville Konttinen: J J
Jarmo Salonen: 9 8

Konttinen was ahead preflop but far behind when all the chips went into the pot. None of that mattered after the J turn gave him a set. Salonen was drawing dead and began counting out chips after the A river completed the board.

Ville Konttinen – 330,000
Jarmo Salonen – 160,000
