Kokk Back to the Beginning

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

Janar Kokk, who has been diligently updating his stack via the MyStack app, is now down to near a starting stack.

He shared with PokerNews on the break that Jonas Bølge Tveit in middle position opened to 3,600 before he three-bet to 8,000 from one seat over.

Kokk got a call from Tveit before the {8-}{6-}{2-} came on the flop.

Kokk bet 15,000 before he called a jam from his opponent of 50,000. Kokk had an overpair with {Q-}{Q-} but was drawing to two outs as Tveit managed to flop top set with {8-}{8-}.

The {j-} on the turn and the {k-} on the river didn't help Kokk and he was down to 34,500 after the hand.

Kokk Doubles, Sepp Eliminated

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

Aare Sepp raised to 4,500 from under the gun before Janar Kokk three-bet jammed from the big blind to 23,000. Sepp called and they were off to the races.

Aare Sepp: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Janar Kokk: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Kokk increased his lead in the hand after the {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades} came on the flop. He then tapped the table after the {2-Diamonds} on the turn for a full house. The {10-Diamonds} came on the river and Sepp was down to exactly one big blind.

The very next hand, Andrei Mjagkov raised to 4,500 from middle position with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The action folded to Sepp who was already all-in by posting his blinds with {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

Sepp hit the rail as he was unable to catch up in the hand after the {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} came on the board.

Trussov Takes Out Dudakov

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

Dmitru Dudakov was down to under 10 big blinds. He three-bet jammed for about eight big a button open from Andrey Trussov and got a call.

Dudakov was ahead with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against his opponent's {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

However, fortunes quickly turned after a queen hit the {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop. Dudakov was unable to get one of the two remaining tens to save his tournament life in the deck as the {K-Spades} came on the turn and the {2-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Siljander Sliding Up on the Leaderboard

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

Mathias Siljander started the day with one of the shorter stacks but if he is not the chip leader he is close to it.

In a recent hand, he opened to 4,000 from early position before calling a three-bet jam of 37,000 from Jari Aaltonen.

Mathias Siljander: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Jari Aaltonen: {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Aaltonen was fully out of his seat before the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} appeared on the flop before halfway sitting down again.

His tournament life was over after the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river did nothing to improve his hand. Meanwhile, after the hand, Siljander had more than 400,000 in chips.

Kokk Out the Door

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Janar Kokk
Janar Kokk

Janar Kokk was eliminated from the tournament. We missed the hand and he was brief on the details.

All he did share is that he tried and failed to get a bluff through against Mathias Siljander, who has a monster stack, putting him on the exact hand he had.

Kokk was a little disappointed as he was expecting to go deep but on the other hand he shared he had backup plans for tonight anyway.

Meanwhile, Siljander extended his chip lead and after the hand had a massive stack of half a million in chips.

Alakorva Shouts in Joy

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Veli-Pekka Alakorva
Veli-Pekka Alakorva

Veli-Pekka Alakorva is well-known around Finland and surrounding countries for his enthusiasm. Players know when he is screaming in joy not to take it personally.

Alakorva limped from the button before Timo Rantamäki raised the action to 12,400 from the small blind.

Alakorva called and the {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds} came on the flop. Rantamäki jammed for about 25,000 and Alakorva called.

Timo Rantamäki: {A-}{Q-}
Veli-Pekka Alakorva: {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Alakorva screamed in joy so loud people downstairs in the casino likely heard it when he found out he was ahead in the hand.

Rantamäki was unable to catch up after the {j-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and the {8-Hearts} came on the river.
