Tajiou Eliminated in Massive Flip for Chip Lead

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

John Blomberg raised to a sizable 50,000 under the gun, prompting a three-bet to 120,000 by Julia Kuusijarvi in the cutoff. Mounir Tajiou then jammed in 600,000 from the small blind, and Blomberg called after a lengthy tank before Kuusijarvi folded.

Mounir Tajiou: A♥K♦ All in
John Blomberg: 10♠10♣

The 6♣8♦7♦Q♥4♥ runout improved neither player, meaning Blomberg's tens held to scoop the monster pot. Tajiou, who was poised to make Day 3 with an above-average stack, instead headed to the rail in the final stretch of Day 2.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mounir Tajiou opened to 24,000 under the gun. John Blomberg called in the hijack, and Julia Kuusijarvi followed suit in the small blind. Ville Keranen then jammed all in for 387,000 in the big blind.

Tajiou folded after a count, and the remaining four cards in play quickly hit the muck as well. Tajiou claimed he had folded a flip, prompting Keranen to table 6♥6♦.

Tajiou shot up from his chair, stating he had folded the two remaining sixes in the deck.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Brage Aasen was down to about a single big blind, which he called on the button against Jarno Jokiniemi's open-raise under the gun. Miska Vihervuori then defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned the 4♠Q♥7♠ flop.

Vihervuori and Jokiniemi both checked, as they did when the 10♠ was dealt on the turn. The J♥ river completed the board, and Vihervuori checked again.

Jokiniemi tossed in a bet of 25,000, to which Vihervuori quickly folded. Jokiniemi showed K♥9♥ for a straight, a tad overkill as Aasen played the board with hid 3♦2♦.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

It folded to Halldor Sverrisson, who open-shoved in the small blind. Stanislovas Vinicenka quickly called off his 80,000 in the big blind.

Stanislovas Vinicenka: A♣7♠ All in
Halldor Sverrisson: Q♣3♣

Sverrison made bottom two pair on the 6♥2♥J♦3♥2♠ board, enough to best Vinicenka's ace and send him to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Teemu Leppalahti got his last few blinds in from the big blind, and Axel Hilmisson called after having opened in early position.

Teemu Leppalahti: 6♠6♥ All in
Axel Hilmisson: A♠9♣

Leppalahti's sixes remained ahead on the 3♠K♥4♥ flop, but Hilmisson spiked a pair on the 9♠ turn. The K♦ river could not save Leppalahti, who quickly departed the tournament area.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a Q♠3♦7♣6♦ turn, Raimo Ahola checked from the hijack, and Leo Alatalo bet 40,000 in the cutoff. Ahola called, then shoved all in for 119,000 on the 8♣ river. Alatalo called after requesting a count.

Ahola showed 8♠8♦ for a rivered set, winning the pot against Alatalo's K♠Q♥.
