Table Valmunen Quietens

[user46298]

I thought it might be interesting to watch the chip leader Jani Vilmunen get to work in the first level of the day, with a stack which looks like it is impervious to blinds. However, it wasn't really. The only hand I saw which looked like it could go somewhere was against Tony Bloom, where Bloom made it 5k to go and Vilmunen quietly threw in one blue chip for the call (he's got so many, one wouldn't be missed).

They proceeded to check it down, and Vilmunen won the small pot, fiddled with his tub of Snus (a Scandinavian tobacco product you get in small circular tins and then place in your mouth like a teabag) and went back to silently regarding the table. Since we're photographerless today, I think a brief description is in order: The hair of Alexander Kravchenko, the coat-of-arms-with-lions-and-sword-with-wings pinstripe jacket of Robbie Williams, the calmly destructive poker demeanour of any successful Finnish poker player.
