Jussi Nevanlinna Eliminated in 10th Place (€58,130)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jussi Tapani Nevanlinna
Jussi Tapani Nevanlinna

Jussi Nevanlinna made it 110,000 to go on the outer table as the first player to act and Marcelo Simoes opted to flat-call on the button. The {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop was checked by Nevanlinna and Simoes bet 100,000.

Only a short while later, Nevanlinna then moved all-in for what appeared to be 1,460,000 and Simoes barely wasted ten seconds before calling without asking for an exact count.

They already turned over their cards but had to wait for the ongoing hand on the live stream table to conclude before proceeding with the showdown.

Jussi Nevanlinna: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Marcelo Simoes: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The {3-Diamonds} turn gave Nevanlinna some more outs but he missed them all on the {10-Spades} river to bow out in 10th place for a payday of €58,130. There will now be a short break to redraw for the nine-handed final table as the action is set to continue on the live stream set.
