Sahamies Sucks Out Into the Chip Lead

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ilari Sahamies
Ilari Sahamies

Ilari Sahamies opened to 50,000 from early position. A player flatted on the button before Tomasz Chmiel three-bet to 220,000 in the big blind.

Sahamies lets it rip for about 1,100,000. The player that flatted folded while Chmiel, who began the hand with about 1,000,000, called.

Sahamies turned over {a-}{k-} and was up against the {k-}{k-} held by Chmiel. It appeared Sahamies would be left with crumbs as he blanks the flop and the turn. However, the {a-Spades} spiked the river and Sahamies doubled up in the chip lead while ousting Chmiel.

Karlsson Ousts Palonen

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Johan Karlsson
Johan Karlsson

A player opened up in late position. Niko Palonen jammed for about 400,000 from the small blind with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Johan Karlsson cold-called from the big blind with {a-Spades}{a-Spades} and the player that originally opened, folded his hand.

The {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts} came on the flop followed by the {q-Hearts} on the turn.

"Ten!" pleaded Palonen, as this card would give him a broadway straight.

Instead, the {j-Diamonds} paired the board and Palonen was the tournament's latest casualty.

Sahamies Takes Out Another

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Ilari Sahamies
Ilari Sahamies

Ilari Sahamies extended his chip lead after winning a flip against Aleksei Petrov.

Sahamies opened to 50,000 before Petrov jammed for about 500,000. Sahamies called and players turned over their cards.

Aleksei Petrov: {9-}{9-}
Ilari Sahamies: {a-}{k-}

The {3-}{3-}{7-} was a good flop for Petrov. The {a-} on the turn gave Sahamies a better pair but opened a flush draw for Petrov. Sahamies won the hand after a blank hit the river and the action is down to 17 players.
