Lepik Doubles Through Kulju

Christian Zetzsche

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

Ave Lepik defended her big blind against Kalle Kulju and then check-jammed for 150,000 on the 8♠3♦2♠ flop to show the A♠8♦ for top pair and top kicker. Kulju was ahead with the 10♦10♣ for an overpair but the 4♠7♠ runout gave Lepik the nut flush for the double.

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.

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

There was a preflop escalation over on table 12 and once the cards were revealed, it was obvious why Esko Brandt and Sami Natri ended up all-in.

Esko Brandt: A♥A♠ All in
Samki Natri: K♣K♦

No king or other shenanigans came on the Q♣6♦2♥8♥J♣ runout and Brandt doubled for 250,000.

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 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 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.

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

Seyed Tabaei raised to 30,000 first to act and Esa Turpeinen called on the button. On the 10♠9♥3♦ flop, Tabaei check-called for 25,000 and did so again for 40,000 on the 5♥ turn. They checked the 5♠ river and Tabaei announced king-high, exposing K♠J♥.

Turpeinen won the pot with the A♥10♥ and headed back into a break shortly after.

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

Laasik Kasso continued to apply pressure left and right, taking pots off Kalle Kulju and Taivo Sillaste. The latter check-folded the 10♦4♥2♣9♣ turn when Kasso jammed.

Eyjolfur Halldorsson then survived an all-in showdown for very few blinds with 8♠8♣ against the J♥4♥ of Esko Brandt when he made a flush on the 7♠4♦2♠6♠4♠ runout.

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.
