Tammel Eliminates Alakorva

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Veli-Pekka Alakorva
Veli-Pekka Alakorva

The tournament is now hand-for-hand on the bubble after Tarmo Tammel eliminated Veli-Pekka Alakorva in 22nd place.

The action folded around to blinds, when Tammel jammed for more than double the around 55,000 Alakorva had in his stack. Alakorva looked at his cards one at a time before he called.

Tarmo Tammel: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Veli-Pekka Alakorva: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Alakorva was shouting in Finnish before the flop was dealt. Then it was back and forth with Tammel shouting with a smile on his face for a seven and Alakorva shouting for an ace or a queen.

The {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop didn't pair Alakorva but did give him a gutshot straight draw, a fact not lost by Alakorva who screamed, "King, Ace, Queen" repeatedly.

The shouts continued after the {6-Spades} came on the turn. Alakorva looked stunned after the {2-Diamonds} completed the board on the river to eliminate him from the tournament.

Tammel said to Alakorva good game, who shook his opponent's hand before leaving the tournament area.
