Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, and Aleksejs Ponakovs called on the button. Eelis Parssinen then three-bet to 19,000 from the small blind. Miroslav Atanasov responded with a four-bet from the big blind, making it 43,000. Foxen and Ponakovs quickly folded, but Parssinen called.
The Q♦6♦10♠ flop checked through, tempting Parssinen to take over the betting lead on the 8♦ turn. He bet 38,000, which Atanasov called.
The 6♥ completed the board, and Parssinen bet 149,000, leaving 1,000 behind. Atanasov called, and after Parssinen mucked his cards, Atanasov did the same before raking in the pot.
Shortly after, Parssinen lost his 1,000 to be the first player eliminated.
