Laurila Creates Gap
Level 39
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Mark Johnston raised to 2,000,000 on the button with A?Q? and Tero Laurila defended his big blind with J?6?.
The flop was J?3?K? and Laurila checked to Johnston, who made a bet of 1,400,000 chips. Laurila made the call with his pair of jacks and saw the 9? turn roll off.
Both contestants checked, as did they on the subsequent 8? river. Laurila won the small pot to gain a slight edge over Johnston.
