"NoNeedMoney" Sent Out by Vihikainen

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aki Vihikainen
Aki Vihikainen

Krasimir Yankov limped in from the cutoff, Aki Vihikainen followed suit on the button, and "NoNeedMoney" raised to 30,000 in the small blind.

Yankov quickly mucked his cards, but Vihikainen bought a trip to the 6J2 flop. Both players checked to the 5 turn, which "NoNeedMoney" also checked.

Vihikainen then bet 35,000, seeing "NoNeedMoney" call. Vihikianen put "NoNeedMoney" all in on the K river, sending him into the tank. Eventually, he called off his stack of 111,000.

Vihikainen turned over KK74 for a rivered set. "NoNeedMoney" walked away from the table, leaving the dealer to flip up his K1098.

Csaba Fenyvesi: QQ76 All in
Lucas van den Belt: AK65

The 2 turn and 4 river were of no use to Van den Belt, who doubled up Fenyvesi and was left with ten big blinds.

Trojand Takes on Vihikainen

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Aki Vihikainen raised to 21,000 in the cutoff. Jeremy Trojand made it 69,000 to go in the small blind, which Vihikainen called.

Trojand moved his remaining 137,000 in on the J76 flop, instantly being looked up by Vihikainen.

Jeremy Trojand: AQQ6 All in
Aki Vihikainen: KJ87

It was looking like Vihikianen would score another knockout after the 9 turn, but the 6 river bailed out Trojand, giving him trips to secure his double-up.

On the button, Christian Stratmeyer moved his last 61,000 in on the J25 flop. Jeremy Trojand looked him up in the big blind as the players went to showdown.

Christian Stratmeyer: J986 All in
Jeremy Trojand: 7653

Trojand made two pair on the 7 turn, enough to win the pot as the river came the K. Stratmeyer said his goodbyes while, over at another table, Filip Aleksic appeared to have lost a big pot to Bharath Janardhan, with the latter obtaining a big chip lead.

De Kroon Joins Late-Night Eliminations After Doubling Varonen

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jelle de Kroon
Jelle de Kroon

Lauri Varonen committed his final 99,000 on a Q52 flop from the small blind, being looked up by Jelle de Kroon in the cutoff.

Lauri Varonen: AA77 All in
Jelle de Kroon: KQ98

Varonen found top set on the A turn to lock up the pot, rendering the 10 river meaningless. De Kroon was left with about 40 big blinds, but he nonetheless busted not much later.
