Rintala Makes His Stand

[user66118]

Voitto Rintala came into the pot with a late-position raise, and Antony Lellouche made a three-bet from the big blind. Rintala immediately moved all in, and Lellouche called even quicker. The two were virtually even in chips with about 230,000 apiece, so nobody was sure who was at risk when the cards were tabled:

Rintala: {A-Hearts}

Lellouche: {Q-Hearts}

Lellouche seemed awfully nervous about this situation, but his nerves would soon be calmed. The dealer ran out a very clean board of {6-Diamonds}

. The queens hold for the Frenchman, and he earns himself the pot. When the stacks were counted down, Rintala had his man covered by just about 20,000. He'll be left with just those red chips, while Lellouche vaults back up to about 475,000.
