Amazing Hero Call From Atte Ftanssila
Level 10: 1000/2000 (2000)
Entries: 263/502
Ftanssila in the small blind. Torquato made the call, and they saw a flop of K♥10♥8♣. Ftanssila continued with a bet of 12,500, and Torquato called in position.
The turn 3♣ brought a check from both players, and on the river 6♦, Ftanssila checked once more. Torquato seized the chance and fired a hefty 30,000 bet into Ftanssila’s 57,000 stack. After careful deliberation, Ftanssila made the call.
The cards were revealed:
- Luigi Torquato: Q♥J♦ (missed straight draw)
- Atte Ftanssila: 8♦9♦ (pair of eights)
The Finn’s sharp read and hero call won him applause from the table and boosted his stack to around 150,000.
Luigi Torquato – 45,000
Atte Ftanssila – 150,000
