Michael Wharton
Michael Wharton

Aleksei Petrov opened from early position to 50,000 before Michael Wharton jammed for around 350,000 from one seat over. The action folded to Petrov and he snap-called.

Michael Wharton: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Aleksei Petrov: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Wharton was eliminated in 20th place after he failed to connect to the {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board.

Dinner Break!

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Players are on a 75-minute dinner break. The blinds will increase to 12,000/24,000 with a big blind ante of 24,000 when play resumes.

Slow Side Table Action

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After a bunch of fireworks on the side tables, the action has slowed down leading into the dinner break. There are still 20 players remaining.

Karlsson Ousts Palonen

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Johan Karlsson
Johan Karlsson

A player opened up in late position. Niko Palonen jammed for about 400,000 from the small blind with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Johan Karlsson cold-called from the big blind with {a-Spades}{a-Spades} and the player that originally opened, folded his hand.

The {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts} came on the flop followed by the {q-Hearts} on the turn.

"Ten!" pleaded Palonen, as this card would give him a broadway straight.

Instead, the {j-Diamonds} paired the board and Palonen was the tournament's latest casualty.

Sahamies Sucks Out Into the Chip Lead

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ilari Sahamies
Ilari Sahamies

Ilari Sahamies opened to 50,000 from early position. A player flatted on the button before Tomasz Chmiel three-bet to 220,000 in the big blind.

Sahamies lets it rip for about 1,100,000. The player that flatted folded while Chmiel, who began the hand with about 1,000,000, called.

Sahamies turned over {a-}{k-} and was up against the {k-}{k-} held by Chmiel. It appeared Sahamies would be left with crumbs as he blanks the flop and the turn. However, the {a-Spades} spiked the river and Sahamies doubled up in the chip lead while ousting Chmiel.

Ilari Sahamies
Ilari Sahamies

Ilari Sahamies opened to 35,000 from the button before Samuel Saariaho three-bet to 110,000 from the big blind. Sahamies ripped it for 570,000 and Saariaho called.

Ilari Sahamies: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Samuel Saariaho: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Sahamies got out of his seat and walked to the opposite end of the table before the cards came out on the board.

He returned to his seat after the {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} came out on the board to give him a broadway straight and a double.
