Nilsen Rivered by Müür To Conclude Day 2

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After four double ups in previous hands, Ingvill Nilsen as one of the short stacks open-jammed for 145,000. Madis Müür called and the rest of the table folded.

Ingvill Nilsen: Q♦Q♠ All in
Madis Müür: K♥Q♣

The 10♦7♣5♠ flop and 3♦ turn were save, but the K♠ river gave Müür the superior pair.

"It wasn't meant to be," Nilsen said as she gathered her belongings and headed to the rail.

Müür will be among the big stacks for the final day, though, Vadim Guk appears to be the chip leader after winning several bigger pots without showdown at the end, twice at the expense of Leo Alatalo.

All remaining 27 players are now bagging up for the night, full counts and a recap of today's action are to follow. There are 49:14 minutes left in level 19.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Runnar Lindepuu three-bet jammed with ace-queen and was called by Esa Turpeinen, who had the 9♦9♠.

The board ran out 7♠5♥4♠9♥3♥ and Turpeinen turned a set of nines.

Shortly after, Turpeinen took on Seyed Tabaei and bet the K♦8♣7♠ flop for 25,000. Tabaei raised to 80,000 and Turpeinen called, then checked the 4♣ on the turn. Tabaei moved all-in and forced a fold.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mario Jürgens had lost some chips after his previous double while Vadim Guk chipped up.

Guk then led a 6♥6♦2♠K♥ turn for 55,000 and Jürgens raised. While fiddling with his red T-100,000 chips, Guk shrugged and eventually reraised, Jürgens instantly called all-in.

"Six?" Guk asked and exposed his K♠J♦. Jürgens indeed had the 7♣6♣ and needed to dodge the last two kings only.

Sure enough, Guk spiked the K♣ on the river to send Jürgens out in brutal fashion.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Madis Müür raised enough from the small blind to give Teemu Leppälahti in the big blind only two options: Call all-in or fold and stay on a severe short stack. Leppälahti opted for the former as he called for the last 100,000.

Teemu Leppälahti: K♥8♦ All in
Madis Müür: K♠2♣

The Q♣7♣5♣Q♥K♣ runout gave Müür the flush with the mighty deuce and knocked out Leppälahti in 32nd place.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jere Laitinen got it in via three-bet shove and was called by Anders Bjorkheim. The Finn was way ahead with A♣A♦ versus A♥J♥ but Bjorkheim flopped the nuts on the K♥Q♣10♦5♠9♥ runout.

"You saved me, I had king-queen suited," Taivo Sillaste in the small blind said.

In the meanwhile, Esko Brandt and Daniel Axelsson became contenders for the lead. Brandt raised big on the A♠J♠8♣J♦ turn against Vadim Guk, who bet 85,000 and folded to a raise worth 250,000. Brandt showed the K♠Q♠ for a gutshot straight and flush draw.

Player	Chips	Progress

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Laasik Kasso kept up his relentless aggression and jammed the 6♣5♣2♠A♦9♣ river against Kaido Mikk, who mustered up a call. Kasso tabled Q♣8♠ for a bluff and Mikk doubled with the 7♥6♦ for a pair of sixes.

Daniel Axelsson then raised to 300,000 in the small blind and Robert Kallikorm called all-in for around 200,000 in the big blind.

Robert Kallikorm: A♠K♥ All in
Daniel Axelsson: A♦2♣

The 6♦2♠2♥6♣J♣ board gave Axelsson a full house and Kallikorm a bad beat story to tell.

"Nice move," Kallikorm joked to his former neighbour before heading out of the tournament area.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Esa Turpeinen returned from a short break to then jam a flop of Q♣6♥3♣ and Keimo Suominen folded, having bet 20,000.

In the meanwhile, a three-way battle for the chip lead emerged and Laasik Kasso as well as Madis Müür lead the way. Müür knocked out Karl Persson when his Q♥Q♦ for an overpair held against ace-eight for top pair and top kicker that couldn't get there.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Monica Klingenberg was all-in preflop against Mario Jürgens and both had near identical stack sizes.

Mario Jürgens: K♦Q♦ All in
Monica Klingenberg: A♠K♣

The board ran out 10♥7♦6♦9♣Q♠ and Jürgens spiked the queen on the river. When both stacks were counted, Klingenberg had 5,000 more and was left with a single chip.

While that hand unfolded, Sævar Sævarsson was all-in via coin flip with J♦J♥ against the A♣K♣ of Hjörtur Davidsson. The over cards got there on the K♦10♠2♠Q♠3♦ board to knock out the player from Iceland. Klingenberg then busted in the next hand to take 36th place.

Kare Hallamaa got the remainder of his stack of around 180,000 in preflop via four-bet shove and was called by Peter Rees.

Kare Hallamaa: K♥Q♠ All in
Peter Rees: A♣K♣

The board ran out A♠6♥5♣A♦8♦ and that spelled the end for Hallamaa.

"I will help you go all the way, it was splendid watching you play," Hallamaa told his opponent before heading to the payout desk.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kaido Mikk raised to 20,000 on the button and Einar Porolfsson called in the small blind. Laasik Kasso three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind and Mikk was the only caller.

On the K♣7♦5♣ flop, Kasso continued for 50,000 and Mikk called, then did so again for 100,000 on the 9♠ turn. The river brought the 6♣ and Kasso jammed, Mikk tank-folded.

While the long hand played out, Ott-Kaarli Toome was eliminated on a different table to leave Mikk as the only former champion still in the mix.
