Kelly Limonova Eliminated in 20th Place (€2,430)
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Silver Nommik raised from the button before Kelly Limonova jammed from the small blind for her short stack of 120,000.
Nommik: 
Limonova: 
Limonova was well behind and the 
flop was of no help. The 
on the turn opened up four more outs for the straight. However, the 
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.

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

board. Helppi then bet 60,000 when the action was checked to him after the 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
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
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.
