Torbjorn Larsen:
Dominykas Ruskys:  

Unfortunate flop for the Lithuanian as the dealer unfolded giving Larsen a pair and a huge chance to go to the Final Table. Turn changed nothing and Ruskys was already packing his things, another on the river saw the last player to bust the Day 2. 

He managed to win the price of €3,550 for finishing in 10th place.

Rimantas Boguzas: 
Martin Piik: 

Behind and at risk the flop  gave Piik a gut-shot for the straight, while the  on the turn improved Boguza's chances to win. The river  wasn't any good for Martin as he finished the tournament in 11th place cashing in €3,000.

Viktor Blinov (pictured below) was down to just six big blinds when he jammed from the button. Aleksi Naski asked for a count before he called from the small blind.

Viktor Blinov:

Andres Leppik (pictured below) jammed from the small blind for around 10 big blinds and was called by Torbjorn Larsen from the big blind.

Andres Leppik:
Torbjorn Larsen:

It was a bit of bad luck for Leppik to wake up with a strong hand in the small blind only to go up against the best hand in poker. Leppik improved to a full house on the runout. However, his eights full of kings wasn't as good as Larsen's eights full of aces and he hit the rail in 14th place for €2,450.

Tonis Viik:
Rasmus Lundstrom:
Viacheslav Sultanov:

While Viik was unable to get lucky and hit the rail in 14th place for €2,450 the same can't be said for Lundstrom who asked if he could take a photo of the hand after his cowboys improved to trips on the with a king spiking the flop.

Relentless aggression was displayed by Viacheslav Sultanov as he three-bet the open raise from Jon Kyte (pictured above) for five straight times. A monster pot began after Kyte raised to 100,000 and Sultanov quickly re-raised to 225,000.

After thinking for a bit Kyte put all of his betting discs in the middle which were a whopping 800,000 chips and with no hesitation Sultanov called.

Viacheslav Sultanov:
Jon Kyte:

The  flop gave some better odds for Kyte as he said: "Eight please". Turn and a river brick saw one of the big stacks - Kyte go out in 16th place and cashed the tournament for €1,950.

The final 15 players earned a pay jump to at least €2,450.

The final 16 players went on what is likely their final break of Day 2 as the day will end with just nine hopefuls for tomorrow's live-streamed final table.

Sultanov was ahead but had a sweat for his tournament life but never left his seat with his cowboys holding on the board.

Just like if we had been in the fabulous Las Vegas and the World Series, here in Tallinn, we have four different tournament rooms. The Main tournament room is in the Grand Ballroom which is the Blue area. Right next door we have the Red area where the players in this event are gathered and enjoying themselves. Outside these two tournament rooms, we have the Black area which is in the lobby area. On the opposite of these, we have the fourth and last tournament area which is the Silver one.  

And what would a WSOP tournament be without a feature table and a secondary feature table right? Here in Tallinn, you can find the glorious feature table just to the right after you've entered the stairs up from the Hotel lobby. The live streaming will start off by tomorrow with the final day of the very first event of this WSOPC which is the €555 No Limit Hold'em. But don't worry this tournament will be streamed right next to that final table with cameras so you can follow the action first hand.

This is the first time WSOP Circuit is coming to the Estonian capital Tallinn but my guess is it won't be the last because so far it has lived up to everything you possibly can expect as a player. Both when it comes to the tournaments with the amazing staff and also Hilton Park is surely living up to its five stars and has the best service you can imagine.

Players are on their second break of Day 2. We will update some of the biggest stacks from around the room at the break.

Blinds will increase to 3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 big blind ante when the action resumes.

The action folded around to Kerimov who tanked for about three minutes before someone pointed out it was his turn.

"It's not a slow roll," said Kerimov after he quickly called with this information.

Evgeny Kerimov:
Maksim Petrov:

It was a bit of a cooler for Petrov but we impartially agree it seemed highly unlikely this was a slow roll and the rest of the table appeared to say the same.

Miracles didn't happen for Petrov as he big slick was unable to get ahead of pocket rockets on the board.

Level 12: 1,000/2000 (2000)
Entries: 173/350

Poland's Lukasz Fraczek opened the pot by tossing 4,000 chips into the pot and Ukraine's Kostiantyn Svystunov defended his big blind.

Svystunov snap-jammed his remaining short stack of 19,000 on the flop and Fraczek wasted no time in finding a call.

Kostiantyn Svystunov:
Lukasz Fraczek:

Svystunov didn't look happy as the turn revealed the but still had some hope for a full-house, but the on the river ended his run in the tournament unless he opts to re-enter before late registration closes before the start of Level 13.

Entries: 174/350

Masse Mirza bet 15,000 into a pot of around 60,000 with the on the board after the turn. Risto Parnat shoved for around 40,000 and Mirza tanked for several minutes.

Mirza eventually called but didn't seem too thrilled about it. His intuition was correct.

Risto Parnat:
Masse Mirza:

Mirza's overpair was one pair short and Parnat doubled his stack instead of hitting the rail after a blank river completed the board.

The action folded to the start of the day chip leader Raivo Pinsel from the cut-off. He opened to 3500 and short-stacked Aleksei Smirnov defended his big blind. 

Flop uncovered the and Pinsel was quick to bet 5,500 on this dicey board. Smirnov quickly called and the players showed down their hands with Smirnov at risk.

Aleksei Smirnov:
Raivo Pinsel:

Smirnov was ahead with the better pair and his hand held after the turn and river completed the board to double through the start of the day chip leader.

Level 11: 1,000/1,500 (1,500)
Entries: 178/346

Domene Larios jammed for 20,000 from middle position and was called by Albert Ostrovskij.

Domene Larios:
Albert Ostrovskij:

Both players wished each other good luck before Larios began to wince after Ostrovskij improved to a full house on the flop.

The table was in shock after Larios was drawing dead on the turn as this improved Ostrovskij further to quads. The blank river completed the board and Larios will need to re-enter if he wants a chance to cash in this event.

Meanwhile, Jonikas Vygerdas, Jan-Michael Kesanen, and Vytautas Kacerauskas all hit the rail during the early moments of Day 2.

Level 11: 1,000/1,500 (1,500)
Entries: 182/334

Tanel Evert jammed for more than the 30,000 or so Okada had left from the big blind over the open by Ken Okada from the small blind. Okada called and was in a great spot to double his stack during the first blind level of Day 2.

Ken Okada:
Tanel Evert:

The board didn't push Evert ahead as he doubled up Okada.

A hand or two later, Evert jammed the rest of his short stack with and didn't get there against the held by Johan Martinsen and will need to re-enter if he wishes a chance at a coveted WSOPC gold ring in Event #1.
