Kelopuro Retains Lead on Break
Level 34
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Elio Fox escaped from elimination when his dominated 
chopped against the 
of Sami Kelopuro on a 
board.
Kelopuro chipped up some more and Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet jammed without being looked up.
In the final hand before a scheduled five-minute break, Kelopuro raised to 168,000 on the button and Joao Vieira came along out of the big blind. The 
flop was checked and Vieira check-called the 
turn for 147,180. On the 
river, Vieira checked once more and reluctantly folded when Kelopuro bet 488,638.
Only two hands remain at this level and the average is now 30.7 big blinds.
