With the completing the board, Carrel bet out 100,000. Brummelhuis tossed in a single chip to callalmost instantly. Carrel showed for flopped top two but was beat by the Brummelhuis showed for the rivered straight.
Jussi Nevanlinna is eliminated, the dream of going back to back is done.
We asked former table mate Michiel Brummelhuis what had happened. Brummelhuis told us action had folded to Nevanlinna in the small blind and he had limped in. The big blind, German player G. Garfield, raised to 18,000 and Nevanlinna had pushed all in for about 130,000. Garfield had called with and Nevanlinna was in dire straits with .
The board brought no help to Nevanlinna and he had to settle for a spot outside the final table for once.
Day 3 of the 2016 Master Classics of Poker Main Event is upon us. The remaining 53 players are all in the money after a two-hour long bubble late last night. Johan van Til was the last to go home empty-handed, the remaining players are guaranteed to bank a minimum of €7,895.
He entered five tournaments at the 2016 Master Classics of Poker and cashes in all five of them. Charlie Carrel, after having already cashed in the €1,250 and €1,500 events and both the €10,000 High Roller and €25,000 Super High Roller, leads the Main Event with a massive stack, over 400,000 more than his closest competitor; Jan Bendik who sits in second place.
Another player that always seems to do well at the Master Classics of Poker, is Jussi Nevanlinna. He finished runner-up in 2011 for €227,850, fifth for €71,985 in 2014, and outright won the event for €300,000 last year. He's a medium stack coming into Day 3, he still can go back to back!
Play resumes at 2pm local time (in about 2 hours) and the plan is to play down to a final table of nine players today. Level 17, while already almost fully played last night, will be restarted so blinds will be 2,500/5,000 (500-ante) again when play starts.
