The arguably most intriguing side event of the day, the €750 NLH Mystery Bounty, is now down to 12 players; they are all in the money.
On the bubble, Mark Hammering min-raised to 16,000 from the Cut-off. Pasi Laihinen made the call on the Button before Einius Jurgevicius moved all in for 210,000 from the Small Blind. Hammering re-shoved for roughly 1,000,000, and soon, the two contestants were heads-up. They tabled their holdings:
Einius Jurgevicius: Q♥Q♣
Mark Hammering: A♣K♠
It was a classic coin flip confrontation. Hammering didn’t manage to connect on the J♠6♦7♦J♣9♥ board, though, and he became the unfortunate bubble boy. Meanwhile, Hammering should be one of the biggest stacks with 1,335,000. Ring Event #1: €350 Mini Main Event champion Antti Perttula is still in the field.
That, my friends, wraps up today’s live coverage here on poker.pro. Sure, it was light coverage, but this poker.pro live reporter needed a slower day, considering what’ll happen tomorrow. Then, the focus will be entirely on Day 2 of the €1,500 Main Event. The tournament will kick off at 12:00, and the coverage won’t stop until the survivors bag for Day 3.
Thanks to everyone who’s been following along with today’s coverage, and see you all tomorrow.
