Priit Parmasto found K♥K♦ in early position and raised to 250,000, with Igor Pihela Jr. defending his big blind with A♥5♥.
The dealer opened a 9♦2♦4♣ flop, and Pihela check-called a 150,000 continuation bet from Parmasto, hoping to catch an ace or a three for a straight.
The 4♥ on the turn changed little, but Pihela saw an opportunity to represent strength on the paired board with his big blind range and led out for 300,000. Parmasto, now down to just 1,000,000 chips, thought it over but chose to just call rather than shove.
Then came the 3♠ river, a gin card for Pihela, completing his straight. He moved all-in, and Parmasto made the call with his pocket kings, only to be shown the bad news.
With that, Parmasto was eliminated in eighth place, ending his hopes of becoming the first-ever two-time Kings of Tallinn Main Event winner. Igor Pihela Jr. now stands as the last local player left at the table, keeping Estonia’s hopes alive in the Main Event.
Igor Pihela Jr. – 6,100,000
Priit Parmasto – 0
