U-Turn

Tournament directors have a curious habit of changing their minds at the last minute, and indeed it has been decided that play will stop for the night at the end of Level 11, i.e. now.

Many things have happened in the past 15 minutes or so, though, so please stay tuned...

Sami Kelopuro Eliminated

Meanwhile, on the other table, Sami Kelopuro was reduced to exactly no big blinds. Peter Jetten made a standard raise from the button and Kelopuro pushed all in from the big blind. Call.

Kelopuro: {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Jetten: {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Board: {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Kelopuro is busted, and we will be returning tomorrow with 14 players.
