Sapiano Loses One; Niskanen Enters
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante

flop and he then checked the 
turn. His opponent then made it 2,000 to go and Sapiano folded.
Tuomo Niskanen has entered half-way through the first level of the day. The Finn, usually found at the online poker tables, has already had a decent score in the current year and re-entered after having busted yesterday's first flight.
