Nevanlinna Doubles Through Zisimopoulos
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jussi Nevanlinna, who finished second in this very tournament in 2011 and fifth last year, has taken a big step towards another final table appearance in Amsterdam.
Georgios Zisimopoulos raised to 21,000 from under the gun and the Finn three-bet to 66,000 from the hijack. Zisimopoulos asked for his stack size and then jammed to put Nevanlinna at risk. The Finn called for 326,000 and had his opponent dominated.
Nevanlinna: 
Zisimopoulos: 
The board ran out 
and the pair of jacks scooped a big pot, putting a big dent into the stack of the Greek.
