Aleksei Smirnov Eliminated in 21st Place (€2,430)

Aleksei Smirnov

Estonia's Aleskei Smirnov just became the first casualty of Level 20.

Smirnov four-bet jammed for 280,000 with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Finland's Arto Ilmari Loikkanen called with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades} board was of no help to Smirnov and he exited the tournament in 21st place for €2,430.

Kelly Limonova Eliminated in 20th Place (€2,430)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Kelly Limonova
Kelly Limonova

Silver Nommik raised from the button before Kelly Limonova jammed from the small blind for her short stack of 120,000.

Nommik: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Limonova: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Limonova was well behind and the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop was of no help. The {3-Hearts} on the turn opened up four more outs for the straight. However, the {2-Diamonds} on the river sealed Limonova's fate and she hit the rail in 20th place for €2,430.

Before she left the tournament she shouted in joy perhaps thinking the river helped her hand. She then sighed and wished everyone a good game before she headed off to collect her winnings.

It hasn't been a great start to the day for Estonian players with short stacks as the first four players eliminated on Day 4 have all fallen in this category.

Tamasauskas' Stack Grows, Helppi's Shrinks

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Finland's Juha Helppi was easily the most accomplished live tournament player to enter the Main Event. His Day 4 hasn't gone exactly as planned as went down to about 260,000 in chips.

Helppi called a bet of 55,000 from Lithuania's [Removed:174] with about 120,000 in the pot on a {2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts} board. Helppi then bet 60,000 when the action was checked to him after the {q-Diamonds} appeared on the river.

Tamasauskas went into the tank for a couple of minutes before he declared himself all-in. Helppi took little time to fold and will get one more hand to play before break.

Two Estonians Left

Mihkel Parn
Mihkel Parn

The day began with six Estonians in the field. However, the first four players were eliminated leaving just Mihkel Parn and Silver Nommik as the only local players remaining.

Parn and Nommik both have a potential Cinderella story in the making if they can win the event for €62,000 or one of the top prizes as both players qualified into the event online at OlyBet for just €22.

Helppi on the Rebound

Lithuania's [Removed:174] opened from late position to 39,000 and got calls from Arto Ilmari Loikkanen in the small blind and Juha Helppi in the big blind.

All three players checked on the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop. Loikkanen checked again after then {5-Clubs} appeared on the turn before Helppi fired out for 46,000. Tamasauskas called and Loikkanen folded.

Helppi led out for 77,000 after the {6-Spades} completed the board on the river. Tamasauskas went into the tank and was visibly uncomfortable. After a few minutes he eventually called and tossed his hand into the muck after Helppi turned over {a-}{10-}.
