Jens Riis shared while enjoying a beer that is is his birthday today. Christoph Rueegg, who is also enjoying a beer, bought his opponent a shot which they duo quickly put down.
Riis was one of the five qualifiers from last night's freeroll, but shared he was in Tallinn for business so was planning on playing on his birthday regardless. He also shared, "I think I am about to reenter" while still sitting on a stack of 20,000. He followed this up with, "sometimes you just have a feeling that you are about to bustout."

flop. Both Weeks and Brics called. All players checked when the

and beat Weeks who held 
for the straight.
