The Battle for the Chip Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Esa Turpeinen returned from a short break to then jam a flop of Q?6?3? and Keimo Suominen folded, having bet 20,000.
In the meanwhile, a three-way battle for the chip lead emerged and Laasik Kasso as well as Madis Müür lead the way. Müür knocked out Karl Persson when his Q?Q? for an overpair held against ace-eight for top pair and top kicker that couldn't get there.
