Early Fireworks as Cooler Kicks off the Day

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas opened to 40,000 from early position, only to be faced with a three-bet from Robin Ylitalo to 125,000 in the cutoff.

Action folded back to Tamasauskas, who pondered his options before announcing a four-bet to 290,000.

Ylitalo wasted little time in announcing he was all-in, and Tamasauskas got his chips in the middle just as quickly, with Tamasauskas at risk.

Vladas Tamasauskas: A♣A♠
Robin Ylitalo: A♦K♠

In one of the first hands of Day 3, Ylitalo had the misfortune of running ace-king straight into Tamasauskas' aces, with no unlikely escape provided by the Q♥9♠9♣7♣5♠ runout.

Tamasauskas raked in a huge pot to start off the day.
