Berget Sends Meliste to the Rail

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

It got a little crowded in the corner so we were only able to catch the tail-end of a hand involving Frank Robert Berget and Meelis Meliste.

Berget limped preflop before Meliste raised to around 12,000 and got a call.

Berget check-raised all-in for about 50,000 after the flop came {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Meliste called.

Frank Robert Berget: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Meelis Meliste: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Berget was eliminated from the tournament after he was unable to pair the {q-Hearts} on the turn or the {7-Hearts} on the river while Meliste's stack increased to about 240,000.

Aitio Loses His Short Stack

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Anna Janina Cecilia Malmi
Anna Janina Cecilia Malmi

Kristian Aitio got his stack down very low when he shoved his two big blinds from the button with {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Anna Janina Cecilia Malmi called from the big blind with {k-}{6-}.

The {7-}{6-}{2-} flop wasn't the worst one for Aitio as it gave him a straight draw even though it paired his opponent. However, he was eliminated from the tournament after a {2-} appeared on the turn and a {7-} completed the board on the river.

Schalin Eliminates Relander

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Henri Mikael Schalin
Henri Mikael Schalin

Henri Mikael Schalin opened for 9,500 from under the gun before Rikard Relander jammed for about 20 big blinds from late position. Shalin called and turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and it was a classic race with Relander showing {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

Relander hit top pair on the {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop but was drawing very thin with Shalin flopping a set.

The {3-Clubs} on the turn and the {5-Spades} on the river completed the board and Relander was eliminated from the tournament.

Veli-Pekka Alakorva called and chip leader Mathias Siljander raised to 26,000. Sataoen called and Alakorva folded.

Siljander bet 60,000 after the {4-Clubs} appeared on the turn and got a call from Sataoen. Both players then checked after the {a-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Siljander turned over {q-Hearts}{4-Spades} for two pair which was good enough as Sataoen tossed his hand into the muck.

Did Mattila Have Two Pair?

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jussi Mattila
Jussi Mattila

Jussi Mattila has been having fun at the table joking around with his opponents. He has also been growing his chip stack at the same time which is maybe why he is in a good mood.

In a recent hand, Rauno Tahvonen opened to 6,500 from early position before Matilla three-bet to 17,500 from late position. Tahvonen called and the {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} came on the flop.

Mattila bet 14,500 and Tahvonen called.

Mattila bet 44,500 after the {Q-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Tahvonen tanked for a few minutes before the Mattila called for the clock.

A floor person came over and asked the dealer if a reasonable time passed and she said it has been about four minutes. The countdown began and Tahvonen eventually folded with less than 15 seconds remaining.

"I had two pair," said Mattila.

A player asked him to show his cards.

"I can't do that," said Mattila. "Next time you might call."

Mattila then offered to show one card but the rest of the table was ready for the next hand to begin.

Jouni Huovila opened to 6,500 from the cutoff before Sami Jaakko Antero Tuomaala jammed for 38,500 from the big blind.

Huovila tanked for a couple of minutes before he made the call.

Sami Jaakko Antero Tuomaala: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Jouni Huovila: {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop opened up an open-ended straight draw but that didn't stop Tuomaala from getting out of his seat ready to go after the {9-Diamonds} came on the turn.

"Sit back down," said a player at the table as the {q-Diamonds} came on the river to complete Tuomaala's straight and double up his stack.
