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.

Small Ball

After the two early eliminations took place, there haven't been any other players all-in and most pots have been settled without a showdown either preflop or on the flop.

After 20 minutes of no eliminations, two happened at the same table within the span of three hands.

Estonia's Stanistav Smeljov jammed for about 60,000 with {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} from the small blind and was called by Arto Antero Lehtonen in the big blind with {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

The {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} board ran out blank for both players and Smeljov collected €2,430 for 23rd place.

Estonia's Andreas Kaju became the first elimination on the day. Short on chips, he jammed about five big blinds from the small blind with {j-Spades}{3-Spades} and was called by Dmitrijs Meless with {a-}{10-}.

Kaju had the advantage after the flop came {9-Spades}{3-}{9-}. His advantage became bigger when the {q-Spades} hit the turn. However, the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river to give the hand to Meless.

Dmitrijs Meless
Dmitrijs Meless

Latvian Team OlyBet Pro Dmitrijs Meless has just snagged the chip lead early on Day 4.

Finland's Arto Antero Lehtonen opened up for 22,000 from early position. The action folded to Meless in the big blind and before looking at his cards asked his opponent how many chips he had. Meless guessed 500,000 and his opponent confirmed it was about that.

Meless then looked at his cards and called.

Meless check-called a bet of 36,000 on the {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop and both players checked after the {5-Hearts} appeared on the turn and after the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

The Latvian turned over {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and his opponent tossed his cards into the muck.
