The Defending Champion Falls

Jussi Nevanlinna, who won this event last year for €300,000, has just been eliminated.

A 1,500 raise was followed by Richard Milne calling in position. Small blind Samuli Sipila called and big blind Nevanlinna added the needed chips to see a flop as well.

The flop came and was checked around. The hit the turn and Sipila checked again. His countryman Nevanlinna bet 2,950 and action folded to Sipila. Sipila check-raised to 8,500 and Nevanlinna called.

The river saw Sipila check again. Nevanlinna shoved for about 17,000 and Sipila called. Nevanlinna showed , already knowing it wasn't enough. Sipila tabled and Nevanlinna headed for the exit.
