Bad Beat Eliminates Arutjunov

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Richard Randolph opened to 4,300 from middle position before Aleksandr Arutjunov jammed from one seat over for about eight big blinds.

Randolph snap-called and turned over {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} and was behind the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} held by Arutjunov.

The {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop gave Randolph an open-ended straight draw. Arutjunov was looking good for the double after the {8-Spades} came on the turn but the {a-Diamonds} came on the river to complete Randolph's straight and Arutjunov was eliminated.

Ruuska Eliminates Mahonen

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jari Mähonen
Jari Mähonen

Timo Ruuska opened to 4,500 from late position before Jari Mahonen jammed a short stack of less than 10 big blinds from the big blind.

Ruuska called and turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and was well ahead of the {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} held by Mahonen.

The {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Spades} board didn't help Mahonen and he was eliminated from the tournament midway through Day 2.

Palokangas Wins a Family Pot

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Johan Palokangas
Johan Palokangas

It is rare to see all eight players at the table in a pot. This is, even more, the case on Day 2.

This is exactly what happened and it all began when Daragh Davey opened to 4,500 from under the gun. Everyone at the table called including Jussi Mattila, Mathias Siljander, Jari Hurri, and Johan Palokangas in the big blind.

"Family pot!" yelled Siljander before a few others players chimed in saying the same before the {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds} came on the flop.

The action folded to Mattila in middle position who opted to bet 12,000. It folded back around to Palokangas who jammed for 36,400. Matilla snap-called and turned over {q-Spades}{j-Spades} and needed help to beat the two pair held by Palokangas with {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Palokangas doubled up after the {6-Hearts} came on the turn and the {2-Clubs} came on the river.

"Have fun writing that one up," Davey said as PokerNews was walking away from the table.

Igor Pihela Sr. with the Chip Lead

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Igor Pihela Sr.
Igor Pihela Sr.

Igor Pihela Sr. has the biggest stack in the room. Some came at the hands of Hassan Sey who he just eliminated.

A player opened from early position to 5,000 before Sey three-bet to 16,500 from the cutoff. Pihela Sr. flat-called from the small blind and the opening raiser folded.

Pihela Sr. fired out a donk-bet of 12,000 after the {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds} came on the flop. Sey jammed for 56,000 and Pihela Sr. snap-called.

Hassan Sey: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Igor Pihela Sr.: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Sey got out of his seat before the rest of the board was dealt when he saw he needed a two outer to remain in the tournament. He was officially eliminated after the {9-Spades} came on the turn followed by the {7-Spades} on the river.

After this hand, Pihela Sr. won another small pot to extend his chip lead.

Here is a look at some of the stacks of some of Siljander's countrymates.

Pihela Sr. Keeping Stride with Siljander

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Igor Pihela Sr.
Igor Pihela Sr.

Igor Pihela Sr. just won another pot. It began with Tomas Sujeta opening to 5,000 from middle position. The player in the small blind called before Pihela Sr. three-bet to 17,400. Sujeta called and the player in the small blind folded.

Pihela Sr. bet 10,000 after the {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs} came on the flop and Sujeta called. Another bet of 10,000 came from Pihela Sr. after the {3-Diamonds} came on the turn followed by another called.

The same pattern emerged after the {8-Diamonds} came on the river with Pihela Sr. leading out for 10,000 once again. Sujeta shook his head and made the call.

Pihela Sr. turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, which apparently was good enough as Sujeta folded before he said: "You win again."

Meanwhile, Mathias Siljander keeps chipping up as well and his stack increased to 440,000 at the same time this hand took place.
