Final Blind Level of Day 2 Begins

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The final blind level of Day 2 has just kicked off with blinds at 2,500/5,000 and a big blind ante of 5,000.

There are 91 players remaining with 80 guaranteed at least a min-cash of €2,100.

It wouldn't be surprising if the money bubble doesn't break until tomorrow's Day 3 as some of the tables are playing a little bit slower than they were earlier in the day.

Level: 16

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Ante: 5,000

No More Ladies

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Christel Haller
Christel Haller

It's now a room full of men after the elimination of Christel Haller short of the money.

Haller three-bet jammed with {k-}{k-} and was called by an opponent with {a-}{q-}. An {a-} appeared on the flop and Haller was unable to rebound.

Kovalevskiy Chips Up

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Niklas Vakkuri opened from the hijack to 9,000. Serafim Kovalevskiy three-bet to 20,000 from the button before Abhishek Rathod four-bet to 64,000 from the big blind.

Vakkuri folded and Kovalevskiy tanked for a minute before he called.

Both players checked after the {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} came on the flop.

Rathod checked again after the {4-Clubs} came on the turn. Kovalevskiy tanked for nearly two minutes before he bet 40,000 and Rathod called.

Rathod checked once again after the {9-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Kovalevskiy was back into the tank for a minute or two before he bet 70,000.

It was Rathod's turn to tank and after a few minutes, he folded.

Kovalevskiy turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and his opponent tapped the table.

100 Remain

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The bubble is getting closer with 100 players remaining and 80 guaranteed at least a min-cash of €2,100.

It is up in the air whether the bubble will break before the end of the day today or early on tomorrow's Day 3.

Flag Hunter White Eliminated

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Corbin White is known for accumulating tons of flags for his cashes tracked at The Hendon Mob. It isn't necessarily something he does intentionally, he just has traveled a ton over the past couple of years to different venues to play poker.

White won't be adding any entries to his profile during the Main Event as he was just ousted before the money.

Heikki Piira opened from early position to 9,000 before White jammed for more than 90,000 from the big blind. Piira called and White was in for a world of hurt.

Corbin White: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Heikki Piira: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

White began to stand up after the {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} came on the flop and he was drawing dead after the {6-Clubs} came on the turn. The {j-Clubs} completed the board on the river to officially give Piira the pot.

While White won't get an Estonian flag for the Main Event, he can get a Hendon Mob one with their side event running strong with a small waiting list.

Siljander with Rockets

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Finland's Mathias Siljander is well-known in Tallinn after two podium finishes including a win in the Coolbet Open Main Event. He is looking to add another big finish in the Kings of Tallinn Main Event to his impressive resume.

Siljander opened from the cutoff to 10,000. Teemu Toikkanen three-bet to 38,000 from the big blind. The action paused on Siljander for about a minute before he jammed for 125,500 and Toikkanen snap-called.

Mathias Siljander: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Teemu Toikkanen: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Siljander had a small sweat with the {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts} coming on the flop to give his opponent a gutshot straight draw. However, Siljander doubled up thanks to no jack came the rest of the way with the {6-Spades} appearing on the turn followed by the {10-Spades} on the river.

Big Stacks Battle

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joonas Liik opened to 9,000 from the button before Akseli Paalanen three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind. Mathias Siljander stared down both his opponents before he folded from the big blind and Liik opted to make the call.

Both players checked after the {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} came on the flop.

Paalanen bet 40,000 after the {a-Clubs} came on the turn and got a call. The {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river and both players checked.

Paalanen turned over {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and won the hand after Liik tossed his cards into the muck.
