Blinds:Level 16: 2,500-5,000 (500 ante).Level 17: 3,000-6,000 (500 ante)
4.10pm: Level overThat's the top of that level. There is a chip count and a chip race now occurring. The main points could be at the chip count page.
4.10pm: Priit Plakk unstuckThe Estonian player Priit Plakk got all of it in against James Keys, with the Brit comfortably covering the house hope. Keys had 9♠9♥ and Plakk had A♥Q♠ and so they were racing. Plakk's chances got slimmer and slimmer as flop and switch came T♠6♠6♦3♦ and the 9♣ at the river added insult to injury. Keys stacks up another 80,000-odd and Plakk is gone.
4.05pm: Another one outJerry Wong has just accounted for Patrik Kaltrud when the Norwegian was all in for his last 110,000 behind A♦6♦ and Wong called with 5♥5♠. The board gave no help - Q♣9♥3♦7♠8♥ - and Kaltrud is out in 14th. We've got about 10 minutes left on this level, with 13 players. The whole counts are coming on the end of the level.
4pm: Tapinas doneAnd that's that for Tapinas. He moved all in for his last 25,000 with 8♠3♣. Peeter Grunthal called with K♥2♠ and that stayed good on a dry board. Andrius Tapinas is our 15th placed finisher.
3.55pm: Double up for DanielsenIt's been a terrible short while for Andrius Tapinas, who has now doubled up Kenneth Danielsen and is left because the tournament short stack. Tapinas flopped top-pair tens along with his J-10, but Danielsen had pocket jacks, which stayed good. Tapinas is right down to the felt, while Danielsen is something as regards to 300,000.
3.45pm: Worst hand winsAndrius Tapinas has just doubled up Antti Karkkainen, all in pre-flop. Tapinas was more healthy with A♥Q♦ against Karkkainen's A♦J♦ but a jack flopped and stayed ahead. That's a pot worth about 150,000. The whole chip counts might be with us on the end of this level, in about 20 minutes time.
3.40pm: Action on both tablesMatias Knaapinen raised to 14,500 from the bring to an end and Einar Olafsson moved all in from the small blind. It was about 100,000 total and Knaapinen folded. At the other tables, James Keys, Claus Bec Nielsen and Petri Heinanen got the entire method to the river on a double-paired board - queens and fours. Heinanen and Keys both had aces and they'd have thought that was good, but Nielsen had pocket kings, which have been good.
3.30pm: Kaltrud breathing againPatrik Kaltrud is back with with regards to 100,000 after his pocket tens held up against Michael Fardan's J♣Q♠. There have been three clubs at the board by the turn and so Fardan had a flush draw and two overcards by the point the river was dealt. But that was a harmless 2♦ and Kaltrud doubled.
3.20pm: Another double up for KnaapinenMatias Knaapinen is now stacking up about 200,000 chips after doubling through Einar Olafsson. Knaapinen was within the big blind and saw a flop with Olafsson and Michael Fardan. It came: T♠3♥5♣ and Knaapinen checked, then Olafsson bet 20,5000 and Fardan folded. Knaapinen moved all in, for one more 58,000, and Olafsson called. The Icelandic player had A♠K♠ and was behind Knaapinen's T♣2♣. By the point the turn came 2♦, the hand was over. And the T♥ at the river to fill the boat was just rubbing it in.
3.05pm: Level upThat was the last action of that level and we move seemlessly into the following. It's level 17, where the blinds are 3,000 - 6,000 and the ante 500. There are 15 players left.
3.05pm: Leibold departs in 16thImre Leibold had a number of outs when he got all of it in on a board of T♠8♦7♠4♦ with A♠8♠. He was up against a large hand and a larger stack: Michael Fardan had 5♠6♠, the straight, and had Leibold well covered. The river was 6♣, which didn't fill the flush and Leibold was out. The all in was about 145,000, which gets added to Fardan's stack, and puts him within the chip lead.
3pm: Tapinas muscleAndrius Tapinas is throwing his weight around. He raised to 12,000 within the bring to an end and collected both blinds as callers: Peeter Grunthal and Kenneth Danielsen. The flop came K♣4♥8♠ and Grunthal checked, but Danielsen bet 14,500. Tapinas re-raised to 39,000 and that was good enough for either one of the others.
2.45pm: Nielsen takes on KeysClaus Nielsen raised to 12,500 from under-the-gun and collected two callers: James Keys in mid position and Antti Karkkainen within the big blind. The flop came A♠Q♥3♦ and after Karkkainen checked, Nielsen put out the continuation bet of 21,000. Keys called by Karkkainen folded. The turn was 6♦ and Nielsen remained aggressive, making it another 36,000. Keys folded.
On the opposite table, Matias Knaapinen was all in again, this time re-raising Michael Fadan's 12,000 opener. Fardan thought best of it and let it go.
2.30pm: Double up for Matias KnaapinenThe overnight short-stack Matias Knaapinen has doubled up. He moved in a few times and got no takers, after which Patrik Kaltrud finally took the bait. Kaltrud had K♥Q♥ and Knaapinen A♣3♠ and the board bricked all of the way, taking Knaapinen past 100,000.
2.25pm: Natasha Ellis out in 17thNatasha Ellis did not have much option but to shove with pocket eights. Johan Nilsson called with Q♣J♣ and although the flop was blank: 7♠K♦3♦, and killer J♥ came at the turn and Ellis was ousted in 17th. She earns €3,070 (47,892 EEK).
2.20pm: Double upPeeter Grunthal earns the primary double up of the day, when his pocket tens flop a suite to raised Antti Karkkainen. Grunthal earns some breathing space.
2.15pm: Play under wayPlay gets under way with the 17 players on two tables. The primary two three bets pick up pots on each table: Imre Leibold re-raising Patrik Kaltrund and Einar Olafsson re-raised by Michael Fardan. Good enough.
