Jaakko Wilska
Jaakko Wilska

Down to 645,000, Jaakko Wilska faced the raise of Cate Hall and moved all in out of the blinds. Hall called and set up a coin flip for the tournament life of Wilska.

Cate Hall: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Jaakko Wilska: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The board of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} failed to improve the Finn and he bowed out in 14th place.

Kassouf Triples Up

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

William Kassouf shoved over on the feature table in the last level still and Alessio Sardone in the small blind as well as Stefan Eriksson in the big blind called. Both active players checked down the board of {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} entirely and Kassouf showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Sardone had {J-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Eriksson also couldn't score the knockout with {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

After that hand, the feature table went into the 15-minute break.

Hall and Shehadeh In Control

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Luigi Shehadeh pictured during a highly profitable Day 3...so far.

The outer table has slowed down a little in terms of all-in confrontations and pre-flop drama, but Cate Hall and Luigi Shehadeh won't care much about that, as they have made some chips in the last few orbits simply by taking away small pots without showdown.

6-handed, the outer table could yet hold the chip leader by the time we reach the final table.

Eriksson Doubles Through Regonaschi

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The feature table came back from the break and soon after, Stefan Eriksson shoved from the small blind. Marco Regonaschi called and the cards were turned over.

Stefan Eriksson: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Marco Regonaschi: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board of {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} saw Eriksson double and leave Regonaschi well below a million.

Outer Limits

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Luigi Shehadeh has profited most from recent hands at the outer table, with six players remaining and three players almost on the same stacks.

Shehadeh moved all-in on a board of {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} with over 800,000 in the pot, taking that away from Francisco Jose Garcia Martin to leapfrog his rival in the chipcounts.
