According to our own Jason Glatzer in the commentary booth, Gary Fisher told his opponents during the deal discussions that he had no problem playing three-handed, especially with decades of experience behind him. He backed it up, too, being the most active player of the trio left.
In his final hand, Veli-Pekka Penttinen opened from the small blind to 800,000 with A♠7♦, and Fisher called with K♦8♠ after carefully dissecting down his stack.
The flop came K♣A♦A♣. It may have looked promising from Fisher’s point of view, but he was pretty much drawing dead against Penttinen’s trip aces. Penttinen continued for 425,000, and Fisher made the call.
The 8♦ on the turn locked up the hand for Penttinen, and the Finn bet 1,900,000 into 2,400,000, as Fisher reluctantly called again.
The river brought the 8♥, giving Fisher a full house of his own, but unfortunately, second best. With so much already in the middle, Penttinen moved all-in. Fisher made the call, though he didn’t look pleased about it. Penttinen tabled the superior full house, and Fisher’s run came to an end.
Fisher finishes in third place, earning €97,000 from the three-way deal.
Veli-Pekka Penttinen: 16,000,000
Gary Fisher: 0
We are now heads-up between Veli-Pekka Penttinen and Tal Barasofsky for the 2026 Kings of Tallinn Main Event title. Barasofsky begins with a slight chip disadvantage, but with plenty of chips in play, it’s still anyone’s game.
And just as a reminder: although both players have already locked up their payouts through the deal, they are still battling for an additional €35,955 and the prestigious Main Event trophy.
