Another star has left the building in 2018 WSOP Europe Main Event champion Jack Sinclair.

Paulius Jucys opened from middle position and got a caller before Jack Sinclair jammed for nearly 30 big blinds from the big blind. Jucys called and his {a-}{j-} was ahead of Sinclair's {a-}{10-}.

The board was unable to help Sinclair and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Juhola Doubles Off Tuomi

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jari-Pekka Juhola, also known as JP in Finland, jammed from the hijack for 32,500. The floor was then called when the action was on Antti Tapani Tuomi in the cutoff.

Tuomi said in English that he was all-in as well for about 180,000. However, several players at the table pointed out that he has been speaking Finnish in hands despite being asked while he is in a hand to speak English only. The floor spoke with Juhola and asked him to only speak in English in the hand and Tuomi pointed out in this case he did and the hand went on.

Juhola was well ahead with {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against Tuomi's {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Juhola doubled up after the board ran out {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

As the dealer was shipping the chips to Juhola, the floor informed Tuomi that if he is speaking in Finnish again in a hand even if he wasn't doing it this time he would receive a penalty as he has been warned at least once before.

Adamson Doubles Off Mulder

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Julian Adamson
Julian Adamson

We caught up with the end of a big hand between Teun Hernar Mulder and Julian Adamson. We learned from the table that Mulder opened up from late position and Adamson defend. Mulder then fired out on the {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop and again after the {j-Diamonds} came on the turn and got calls both times.

Mulder then jammed after the {k-Spades} came on the river and Adamson called. Adamson collected a pot of around 210,000 in chips after he turned over {10-}{10-} for a set which more than beat the {10-}{7-} held by his opponent.

Urbonas Hating Tens

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Mantas Urbonas
Mantas Urbonas

We just saw Lithuanian poker pro Mantas Urbonas leaving the tournament area. He shared with PokerNews how his Main Event crumbled.

With a stack of around 80,000 he four-bet jammed with ace-king and couldn't outflip and opponents ace-ten. A couple of hands later, he jammed his remaining 10 big blind stack with nines and once again ran into tens and couldn't improve.

Urbonas, who is relatively fresh off a fourth-place finish in the Battle of Malta, said as he was leaving that maybe we would see him later a side event.

Jack Sinclair and Espen Uhlen Jorstad
Jack Sinclair and Espen Uhlen Jorstad

Janar Kokk opened from late position before Espen Uhlen Jorstad jammed for 18,600 from one seat over. Kokk called and both players were off to the races.

Espen Uhlen Jorstad: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Janar Kokk: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

It was looking bleak for Jorstad after Kokk nailed a set on the {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. Jorstad was drawing dead after the {k-Clubs} came on the turn despite hitting a pair. The {5-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Jorstad's Main Event run was over.

Meanwhile, Kokk has been chipping up all day and now has healthy stack of 150,000.

Markku Koplimaa

Otto Ivar Viking Lundbergh jammed late position with {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for 21,300 and was called by Estonian poker pro Markku Koplimaa with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

Koplimaa was looking good to chip up especially after the flop came {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

However, his opponent paired up and he did not after the {q-Clubs} came on the turn. The {10-Spades} on the river was unable to help Koplimaa and he was down to around 10,000 in chips.
