Eelis Parssinen and Veselin Karakitukov both put in 70,000 from the blinds as they went heads-up to the 9?8?5? flop.
Parssinen playfully tried to shield himself from Karakitukov's view as the Bulgarian threw in 75,000. Parssinen then moved all in for 121,000 and Karakitukov called.
Eelis Parssinen: 10?10?9?9?
Veselin Karakitukov: A?K?K?5?
Parssinen had spiked a set of nines to take the lead over Karakitukov's kings. The board ran out 10?3? and Parssinen improved to a set of tens to win the pot and secure the massive double up.
