Petersen Hits the River; Mykkonen Hits the Rail

It was the pocket treys of Niko Mykkonen versus the [Ks] [Th] of Alexander Petersen, a race with Mykkonen at risk. The flop was good for Mykkonen – [Jd] [6d] [2h] – the [Qh] offering Petersen some more outs and the [9s] was exactly one of those. Mykkonen is out and Petersen now has 300,000 chips.
