Tricky Nicky

Niko Hanninen moved all-in in middle position for around 25k and was called by Mustafa Sepanji in late position. Big blind Zacahary Ford seemed to have a decent hand and gave the situation some consideration before decideing to get out of the way. Sepanji was in great shape with A K against the young Scandinavian’s A J but the first card out – the J – proved decisive. The remainder of the board read 5 3 9 6 and did nothing to swing the balance back in Sepanji’s favour. Hanninen’s fortunate double up puts him back in the hunt.
