Arto Autio, the Finnish businessman who played his first live poker tournament today, wasn't able to turn it into a Cinderella story and hit the rail in 11th place. In back-to-back hands, Autio lost his final chips.
Tommie Janssen took the first sizable chunk in a hand where Autio check-called 7,500 on a 
flop, before both players checked the

river and got a call from Janssen. The Finn showed

flop, Autio check-called 1,700 from Aldemir.

.
Autio instantly flung his hand face-down in the muck, but once retrieved and turned over by the dealer he was still drawing live with
