Ville Salmi Up To Old Tricks


Unfazed by his recent power-poker type bad results, Ville Salmi (who said right from the start he was going to win this one) is showing no fear in the face of having lost the chip lead. Just now he raised on the button to 83k, Demeyere style, and then waited while Teemu Kangasvieri slowly counted out 235k, and bet it.

Now for one of the longest dwells of the final table so far. Salmi did some staring, some looking at chips, some forehead-creasing thinking, then suddenly, as people's attention started to wander, announced, "All in." Kangasvieri gave one of those resigned, "Oh, here we go again," type smiles. They had a brief conversation in Finnish, then Kangasvieri shook his head and folded.

Salmi showed him K♦ 8♥ and there followed another Finnish conversation where it became apparent that Kangasvieri had folded A-5.
