Staffan Lind
Staffan Lind

A late-position player had 30,000 in the pot. Staffan Lind was on the button with stack of 100,000 shoved forward. The small blind was in on it, too, with an all-in bet of 144,000 in the middle. The late-position player made an uneasy fold while Lind nonchalantly called the 44,000 extra putting the small blind at risk.

Small blind: AhAd
Lind: 5c5d

Lind was well behind in the hand, but had the small blind easily covered. The flop left little room for a sweat when it fell 9d8c5h giving Lind a set of fives. The turn 3c and river 3d improved Lind to a fullhouse. He busted the small blind and took the chip lead in the process.

Staffan Lind – 1,555,000 (97 bb)
