The Battle for the Chip Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Esa Turpeinen returned from a short break to then jam a flop of Q♣6♥3♣ and Keimo Suominen folded, having bet 20,000.
In the meanwhile, a three-way battle for the chip lead emerged and Laasik Kasso as well as Madis Müür lead the way. Müür knocked out Karl Persson when his Q♥Q♦ for an overpair held against ace-eight for top pair and top kicker that couldn't get there.
