Palokangas Wins a Family Pot
It is rare to see all eight players at the table in a pot. This is, even more, the case on Day 2.
This is exactly what happened and it all began when Daragh Davey opened to 4,500 from under the gun. Everyone at the table called including Jussi Mattila, Mathias Siljander, Jari Hurri, and Johan Palokangas in the big blind.
"Family pot!" yelled Siljander before a few others players chimed in saying the same before the 
came on the flop.
The action folded to Mattila in middle position who opted to bet 12,000. It folded back around to Palokangas who jammed for 36,400. Matilla snap-called and turned over 
and needed help to beat the two pair held by Palokangas with 
.
Palokangas doubled up after the 
came on the turn and the 
came on the river.
"Have fun writing that one up," Davey said as PokerNews was walking away from the table.
