Van Til Doubles Through Kelopuro
Johan van Til's stack has slowly been eroding away all afternoon but he is back in business after doubling up through Sami Kelopuro in an explosive hand.
Erlend Melsom opened with a 20,000 bet from middle position and the action folded to Kelopuro in the small blind. He took a moment to stop eating his Caesar salad and raised to 56,000. Van Til was in the big blind and he waited for a count of 20 before announcing he was all in, for what turned out to be 219,000. Melsom quickly folded but Kelopuro snap-called.

The flop hit both players hard but Kelopuro the hardest as it gifted him a set and it looked like van Til could have been on his way to the sidelines. But, and it's a big but, the turn was the improving both players to a full house but van Til had the bigger boat of the two. The river was the and van Til doubled up and Kelopuro went back to eating his lunch.
