Jouhkimainen:
Gu:
The board ran out to give Vieira a triple up and Jouhkimainen doubled up his additional 61,500 chips through Gu.
Iacopo Brandi raised to 6,000 and Stephen Chidwick jammed for 66,600 from the button, enforcing folds all around to claim the pot. The EPT regular is still short but it's just over once the last chip is gone.
[Removed:17] defended his small blind against Joao Vieira and eventually gave up on the river of a board after checking and then facing a bet worth 15,200 by Vieira.
Andrew Chen took a different line and just shoved into a 6,000-raise by Jussi Nevanlinna to scoop the pot and several other well known pros will be forced to do the same soon, too.
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier has spent a rather quiet day at the tables so far and lost a bunch of chips compared to what he started with while Elliot Smith has ran out of chips. On Mercier's table, Bryn Kenney is dominating most of the action and just raised to 7,000 from under the gun.
Raoul Refos was the sole caller from one seat over and they headed to the flop . Kenney continued for 11,000 and was called before firing the turn for 17,000.

Finger folded, and Helppi joined Loosli in checking the river. Loosli showed and Helppi mucked, giving Loosli the biggest stack of the three going forward.
Andrew Chen raised from early position and was called two ways, by Emil Ekvardt on the button and Jussin Nevanlinna in the big blind. On the turn of a board, Chen jammed with for top two pair only for Ekvardt to look him up with a set of nines. The remaining kings and queens in the deck didn't come to the rescue of Chen and he headed to the rail.
