Ronny Kasier may have an enormous chip lead but that did not deter Arvi Vainionkulma from taking him on over on Table 2.
Kaiser raised to 20,000 under the gun and when the action folded to Vainionkulma in the big blind, he paused for 30 seconds or so before three-betting to 47,000. Kaiser asked how many chips the Finn had in his stack and when he saw how many he had, he made the call.
The dealer put out the flop and both players checked. The on the turn was greeted by a bet of 35,000 from Vainionkulma and a call from Kaiser. The river was the and Vainionkulma bet 130,000, leaving himself 190,000 behind. Kaiser went into the tank for almost two minutes before mucking his hand.
Local player Raigo Aasmaa has just picked up a pot after betting out of position on the river. Johan van Til opened the betting with a min-raise to 20,000 from under the gun and Aasmaa called in the big blind. Both players checked the flop and again when the landed on the turn. There was no such passivity on the river though as Aasmaa lead out for 30,000 when the made an appearance.
Jeff Sarwer had a great last level as he doubled his stack over the course of a few hands. Hi stack has slid back to 315,000 though, this level.
He raised from the hijack and was only called Erlend Melsom in the next seat. The flop came and Sarwer saw his 33,000 c-bet raised up to 75,000 from Melsom. Call.
The turn fell as the and Sawer checked to face 92,000 bet. He asked how much Melsom had back (226,000) and looked like he was going to call but he folded instead.
Whilst ordering a delicious club sandwich during the break, I was approached by Kjartan Bergur Jonsson who joked that he hated poker but then told me that he has a flight booked to take him to Spain. His dilemma is that his plane actually leaves Tallinn in a little over two hours time!
Sami Kelopuro and Jeff Sarwer have just clashed over on Table 1 where play is currently six-handed.
Kelopuro raised to 18,000 from under the gun and Sarwer, next to act, flat called and he was the only one to do so. The dealer put out the flop and Kelopuro made it 37,000 to play and Sarwer quickly called. The turn was the and Kelopuro showed no reason to slow down and bet 63,000. Sarwer sat with his head on his right hand but could not find a call and folded his hand.
and Jonsson knew how bad that was for his hand and vented his frustration by saying, "Damn you, boy!"
turn and river didn't help the Icelander and he checked his watch and probably jumped straight in a taxi.
