Tapio Vihakas Eliminated in 3rd Place (€19,500)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Tapio Vihakas

Jussi Mattila jammed {q-Clubs}{7-Spades} from the small blind and Tapio Vihakas called off for 210,000 with {7-Hearts}{2-Spades} in the big blind.

The {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop gave Vihakas more outs for a straight. But neither the {9-Spades} on the turn nor the {3-Spades} on the river was of any help and Vihakas was out the door in third place for €19,500.

Meanwhile, Mathias Siljander enters heads-up play with a more than 2:1 chip advantage against Mattila. Antes have been removed the rest of the way. Here is a look at the final table payouts.

Mattila Leaves Vihakas with Crumbs

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jussi Mattila
Jussi Mattila

Tapio Vihakas jams from the button the very first hand from break with {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Mathias Siljander folded and Jussi Mattila called off his shorter stack of 720,000 with {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board was a safe one for Mattila and he doubled up for the fourth time when all his chips were at risk preflop. Meanwhile, Vihakas was left with crumbs after the hand.

The odds of Mattila winning four straight times with his tournament life at risk with the hands he and his opponent had were just 9.4 percent.

Jussi Mattila was down to 475,000 in chips and jammed from the small blind with {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Mathias Siljander tanked for a minute before he called from the big blind with {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Mattila doubled up after the {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades} came on the board to give him some breathing room.

This is also the third time that Mattila has had his chips at risk at the final table and pulled off a double.

Tapio Vihakas opened from the small blind for 90,000 with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Mathias Siljander defended the big blind with an unknown hand.

Vihakas led out for 75,000 after the {8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} came on the flop and got a quick call. Vihakas check-called a bet of 350,000 after the {j-Hearts} on the turn gave him second pair.

The {2-Spades} completed the board on the river. Vihakas checked and Siljander jammed. Vihakas with 1.5 million behind tanked for a minute before he folded.

Siljander Wins Huge Hand with Set of Rooks

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mathias Siljander
Mathias Siljander

Tapio Vihakas opened to 100,000 from the small blind with {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Mathias Siljander called with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Vihakas had top pair after the {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts} came on the flop but was very behind in the hand with Siljander hitting a flush. Both players checked before checking again after the {2-Diamonds} came on the turn.

The action picked up after the {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Vihakas bet 150,000 and Siljander raised to 680,000. Vihakas tanked for a minute before he made the call and got the bad news.

Siljander not only regained the chip lead after the hand but had 3.4 million in chips or more than anyone has had thus far in the tournament.
