The Defending Champion Falls

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

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 {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} and was checked around. The {9-Spades} 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 {J-Hearts} saw Sipila check again. Nevanlinna shoved for about 17,000 and Sipila called. Nevanlinna showed {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, already knowing it wasn't enough. Sipila tabled {8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Nevanlinna headed for the exit.

Nevanlinna can still make his fourth MCOP final table, he has the option to reenter now or wait for Day 1b on Tuesday.
