Arunas Garunkstis Eliminated in 3rd Place (€25,000)
Juha Helppi opened from the button with 
and Arunas Garunkstis jammed for 370,000 with 
from the small blind and Arto Ilmari Loikkanen folded from the big blind.
Helppi snap-called and was a little behind and still so on the 
flop. He caught up on the 
turn to give him a pair and Garunkstis was eliminated in third place for €25,000 after the 
completed the board on the river.
Players are now on a 10-minute unscheduled break with Helppi holding a more than 2:1 chip advantage in the battle of the Finns against Loikkanen when the action resumes. Players are now guaranteed €41,000 with the top prize paying €61,000. It would be shocking to see a deal made since Helppi has gone on record in the past how he prefer to play tournaments out to their completion.
