Yann Dion raised to 35,000 from the hijack and Santeri Valikoski made the call one seat along, only for the action to grind to a halt on Nik Persaud in the small blind. Persaud riffled his chips before sliding in a raise to what I believe was 80,000 more.

Dion folded, but Valikoski was less hasty, requesting a count from Persaud as he looked him up and down. After a while, he made the call.

Flop: {A-Clubs}

Persaud paused briefly before tapping the table. Valikoski echoed the gesture.

Valikoski tabled {Q-Clubs}
