Tarmo Tammel shoved about 90,000 from under the gun and Joris Ruijs called one seat over to try and score his sixth knockout of the day.
Tarmo Tammel:
Joris Ruijs:
The flop gave Tammel a big lead and the turn left Ruijs drawing to two outs. It's one of those days where the chip leader can't do anything wrong, though, and sure enough the dealer slapped the river onto the felt to improve Ruijs to the winning boat.
Tammel was a good sport about it, congratulated Ruijs and took out his camera to photograph his bustout hand.
Sebastian Wahl has been nurturing the shortest stack for a while and shoved twice in a row to get something to work with. His small blind shove got through, but when he went all in on the button for 82,000 the next hand, it was Henri Schalin who looked him up from the big blind.
Sebastian Wahl:
Henri Schalin:
The rundown brought a rollercoaster of emotions, but ultimately Wahl, the inaugural Coolbet Open champion, ended up with the better two pair to double.
It got folded to Pasi Sormunen in the small blind, who got it all in for a little over 25 big blinds. Andrejs Punka had a tough time deciding what to do in the big blind and ultimately decided to open-fold his to the shock of his table mates.
Sormunen showed and jokingly pretended to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Kasper Mellanen raised to 18,000, Hassan Sey three-bet shoved all in for 163,000 and Mellanen called after a minute of thought.
Hassan Sey:
Kasper Mellanen:
Sey, who finished second in the €550 Kings of Tallinn championship in the same casino last month, would finish 13th now as the dealer spread out to spell his demise.
The hand after Julius Schamburg busted, short stack Kaupo Tenno shoved it in for 57,000 from middle position. In the small blind this time, Joris Ruijs once again committed chips to put a player at risk.
Kaupo Tenno:
Joris Ruijs:
The flopped in the window, followed by to have Ruijs once again eliminate another hopeful.
Julius Schamburg raised to 18,000 from middle position and everyone folded to Joris Ruijs in the big blind, who three-bet to 78,000. Schamburg, who already had multiple big clashes with Ruijs yesterday, four-bet shoved for about 310,000 and Ruijs snapped it off.
Julius Schamburg:
Joris Ruijs:
The best hand remained ahead on and Schamburg bowed out.
Martin Berge was just eliminated in 16th place for €3,020 in a hand that took nearly eight minutes to unfold.
Markku Koplimaa opened up from the hijack to 13,000 and got a call from Berge in the big blind.
Berge checked after the came on the flop before Koplimaa fired out a continuation bet of 12,500. Berge tanked for two minutes before he raised to 28,500.
Koplimaa then tanked before he raised to 100,000, which more than covered the approximately 60,000 Berge had left in his stack. Berge paused for several minutes before he made the call.
Markku Koplimaa:
Martin Berge:
"Nice hand," Berge said when he saw his middle pair needed help to beat Koplimaa's top pair.
No help came as the on the turn and the on the river were blanks and Berge headed to the cashier to collect his payout.
