Big Stacks Collide; Seppanen Does Well Out of Collision
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
A big pot just now dented the stack of Konstantinos Patsourakis while boosting Ari Seppanen's to still more stratospheric heights. On a heads up flop of 
, big blind defender Patsourakis checked to Seppanen, who fired 10,000. Back to Patsourakis, who check-raised to 28,000. Seppanen made the call.
Both players checked the 
turn, but the 
river saw Patsourakis lead out for 25,000 (now handily encapsulated in a single white chip, introduced during the last break). Seppaned called quickly and Patsourakis showed down 
for a rivered three of a kind. Seppanen waited a heartbeat, then showed down 
for an even better rivered hand - the heart flush.
