Last Year's Winner Matias Knaapinen Off to a Good Start

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Matias Knaapinen

Last year, Matias Knaapinen won the Kings of Tallinn Main Event after agreeing to a three-way deal to bank €45,007.

He is off to a good start this tournament and is at the same table as Tonis Viik, who we believe is still in the chip lead.

The two battled it out in a recent hand where Viik three-bet the pot to 1,700 by two players including Knaapinen.

All three players checked after the flop came {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Viik then led out after the {5-Clubs} appeared on the turn for 3,550 and got one player to fold before Knaapinen called.

The {J-Spades} completed the board on the river and both players checked. Viik turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for an overpair. Knaapinen grimaced before he slowly peeked at one of his cards. He eventually showed the table he had the {q-Hearts} and tossed his hand into the muck.

Despite this small setback, Knappinen's chip stack stood at around 53,000 after the hand while Viik is either in the chip lead or pretty close with 88,000.
