Tarmi checked to Ahola, who bet out 38,000. Tarmi then made the call before both players checked through the turn.

Ahola made the call, but as the river completed the board he lamented his decision, claiming that he thought it was only 17,000.

Both players then checked thereafter, with Tarmi's being good at showdown, even though Ahola checked his cards several times over in order to find something better.

The remaining players have been sent on a small 15-minute break.

Roope Tarmi raised to 16,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Seppo Parkkinen in the big blind, who jammed all in for 73,000.

Tarmi gave it a quick think before complying with a call, and the cards went on their backs.

Seppo Parkkinen:
Roope Tarmi:

Parkkinen was rooting for a royal flush, but it became impossible on the flop. The turn provided him with a grim outlook, but the river saved him and kept him alive in the tournament, doubling him up in the meantime.

Paulius Mikaliunas open-jammed for his last 34,000 chips from under the gun. Yi-Zhan Peng was sitting next to him and isolated the player with a small three-bet, forcing the other four players at the table out of the pot. The two players then tabled their cards and a flip was revealed.

Markku Koplimaa:
Paulius Mikaliunas:

A lady is all that Koplimaa needed and he got on on the flop. Now he needed to hold it off, the turn and river helped him do that and get another double-up.

The river then completed the board and Vaitiekunas completed the triple barrel by betting 41,000 chips, leaving himself only a single big blind behind. This visibly distraught Koplimaa, who ultimately elected to let his hand go and forfeit the pot to Vaitiekunas.

The turn was checked by both players. All of the action happened on the river when Suutari bet first for 21,000 and Jouhkimainen raised 200,000 making Suutari play for all of his remaining 88,000 behind.

Suutari took his time to think and called. 

Juho Suutari:
Joni Jouhkimainen:

Another big one goes to the chip leader as the jack on the river completed his gutshot straight draw. He scooped the hand and is now playing with a massive 500,000 stack with 28 players remaining.

After asking how much his opponent played, Ahola stated that his "mathematics are very good" before firing out a big bet of 27,000.

"I like that," Ahola remarked when Bagocius put in the calling chips.

The river then appeared and Ahola swiftly shoved all in, covering Bagocius' 97,000 remaining chips. Bagocius thought it over for a bit but ultimately folded his hand. 

"Because I'm a gentleman," Ahola explained before tabling his for the world to see.

We've spotted some notable stacks around the tables as the players are now returning to their seats after a nice dinner up at The Able Butcher. 

It's ten minutes left on the dinner break for the remaining 32 players in the field and when they come back two of the tables will go on air as they're right now moved to the feature and the secondary feature table outside the grand ballroom. 

On the feature table, you will be able to see players like Juha Helppi, Roope Tarmi, and Antonius Onoufriou. Watch it on our LIVE STREAM here from Tallinn with a 30-minute delay starting at 20.30 local time. 

As they've reached the dinner break in the €3,000 6-max tournament the TD Teresa Nousiainen just welcomed the remaining 31 players in the field up to The Able Butcher on the second floor at Hilton Park. 

"We always do this when we have a €3K or a €5K here in Tallinn as a treat for the players", Teresa told us. A very nice gesture by the fantastic tournament organizers here in the WSOP Circuit and the players are in for a real treat as this is a very fancy restaurant with amazing food. 

While they get to enjoy a nice meal your fellow reporters are going to make a chip count as soon as they are done with the color-ups of all the blue chips (the 500's).  

Level 12: 1,500/3,000 (3,000)
Entries: 36/93

Igor Pihela (Sr.) opened the pot, Jyri Merivirta and Joni Jouhkimainen called from the small and big blind respectively.

The flop got a lot of action after Merivirta jammed it all in for 60,000 chips, Jouhkimainen re-shoved for 140,000 and Pihela (Sr.) had exactly that much left behind and called the two all-ins.

Jyri Merivirta:
Joni Jouhkimainen:
Igor Pihela (Sr.):

Both Merivirta and Jouhkimainen flopped top pair with very good kickers behind while Pihela had a hand that could crush both of them with his flush draw and gutshot to a straight.

The turn was and Pihela (Sr.) made his flush,  Jouhkimainen needed another club to win it all.

The river was the which got the Finn a better flush winning him a massive pot and busting out both players.

They are down to 37 players left in the €3,000 6-max as there are ten minutes before the dinner break and amongst today's notable names in the field we had a little talk with the well-renowned Finn Aki Pyysing. 

Pyysing was the unlucky player who was eliminated in 16th place in yesterday's marathon tournament - the €660 PLO Hi/Lo which ended at 7.30 am this morning - with 15 spots getting paid. 

"It wasn't my first and it won't be my last bubble", the experienced player commented when we stopped by his table where he sits with Igor Pihela Jr. among others. This is Pyysing's second bullet in today's tournament but we surely hope he won't bubble this one as the prize pool is up to €249,984. 

Level 12: 1,500/3,000 (3,000)
Entries: 38/93

Markku Koplimaa opened the pot and got three-bet by Raimo Ahola, Koplimaa called from under the gun.

The flop and had a lot of action as Koplimaa was just calling Ahola's bets. The pot was already more than 100,000 and everything went in for Ahola on the river and Koplimaa called for 80,000 chips. 

Markku Koplimaa:
Raimo Ahola:

Ahola managed to win it all and get a full double-up with his pocket blades. Koplimaa was left with around 30,000 chips.

As earlier mentioned Erik Friberg said he wouldn't come back to Tallinn if busting out of this event and firing three bullets in the Main Event. It's sad to say that we might not see Friberg here in Tallinn again as he didn't manage to spin his stack (well, half of what he started with) up and get into the action as he was eliminated earlier. 

His fellow countrymen and former Kings of Tallinn Champion Johan Karlsson didn't catch much luck after the second break of today either as he was eliminated a few minutes ago. 

That leaves the hopes to Erik Howmark who's one of the nine final players in the Main Event who's playing the final tomorrow. If you haven't already jump into our coverage from that tournament too and catch up with all the action from day three. 

No luck for Karlsson or Friberg in the €3,000 6-max

Level 11: 1,000/2,500 (2,500)
Entries: 38/91

Deividas Butnoras called Ermo Kosk's all-in from the small blind for about 25,000 chips pre-flop.

Deividas Butnoras:
Ermo Kosk:

The flop didn't look good for Kosk, since Butnoras managed to pair his king with both players pairing their six.

The on the turn was a great card for Kosk and he sat back in his chair only to witness the spike the river to improve Butnoras to a boat just before the dinner break.

Even though this is the most expensive tournament during this festival here in Tallinn during the WSOP Circuit you could assume it wouldn't be as we've seen several players firing both a second, third, and fourth bullet after busting out. 

The record holder as of Level 11 is Igor Pihela Sr. who fired a total amount of five bullets for €3,000 each. However, this bullet so far seems to have been a better one for the father of the two Estonian Pihelas in today's field. Igor Pihela Jr. was seen hitting the door during the last level but was soon found at the tables again building his new starting stack. 

Juha Helppi is another player who hasn't been too lucky with his first bullets and just took his fourth chance in the tournament as he sat down with a fresh 50,000 in the starting stack. Mihails Morozovs hopes for a "third time's a charm" as he also took some early hits and now bought in three times. 

As they are on the 11th level in the €3,000 it's now only two more levels if anyone feels like joining the action in this 6-max tournament which now has an astonishing 87 entries. 

We just received some more pictures from our brilliant photographer Elena Kask. All of them you'll find in the Gallery above but here are a few of them. 

Level 10: 1,000/2,000 (2,000)
Entries: 41/87

Mihails Morozovs jammed 27,000 from the button and got called by Raimo Ahola who lost a bit of his stack after the third break. 

Mihails Morozovs:
Raimo Ahola:

The flop wasn't the best for Morozovs as Ahola now had a flush draw and was way ahead. No luck for Morozovs on the turn and the river.

As we walked by table number four we asked Garijs Rozkalns about his card protector and lucky charm. We asked if it was Mr Bean and Rozkalns smiled and said "Yes of course! He's the best" and showed us his leg where he had the best Mr Bean tattoo ever. 

Garijs Rozkalns is not only a poker player, but he's also a professional motorcycle and car driver from Latvia where he's known under the nickname "Garix". He comes from a three generation of professional motorcyclists with his father and grandfather also being very successful at the speed tracks. We asked which of the two sports - superbike or poker - they started with the first and Rozkalns laughed and told us he's been driving motorcycles since the age of only four. And his two sons at the age of six and eight obviously also competes in the very same sport. 

The Mr. Bean teddy bear in front of him is just the start. He told us about the tattoo on his leg which he also sees as his lucky charm. He actually did it just before one of the superbike tournaments he won over the years and underneath his nickname on the leg he has all of his winnings at the tracks. 

But now this entertaining Latvian is here and has pulled up his sleeves in the tournament where we play for the big bucks as 84 players entered the field creating a prize pool of €225,792 so far. But as previously mentioned the registration closes at the end of the 12th level so there's still time if anyone wants to join the excitement here in this six-max actionfilled tournament.

Level 9: 1,000/1,500 (1,500)
Entries: 45/78

Joni Jouhkimainen opened for 6,000 before Riku Koivurinne three-bet to 18,500 from the big blind. Jouhkimainen called to see the
flop. Both players checked before Jouhkimainen bet 20,000 on the turn. Koivurinne called and the river came the which would make a straight for anyone who had a jack in their hand. Both players checked again and it went to a showdown.

Joni Jouhkimainen:
Riku Koivurinne:

Both players had the same pair. Koivurinne's kicker was better and the dealer awarded him the pot.

When the players went on a 20-minute-long break we found some notable stacks in the field of the remaining 46. 

We chatted with WSOP Main Event finalist Erik Friberg during the break. He had a rough start to this tournament and is down to 25,500 in his stack.

"If I bust this tournament I will never come back to Tallinn," Friberg said. "Either they are really good at bluffing or I played the best game of my life." 

As the tournament started again with the blinds 1,000/1,500 with a big blind ante of 1,500 there's still the opportunity to buy into Event #11: €3,000 NLHE, which so far has attracted 75 entries in total.

Max Avela opened for 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Jan-Mikael Kesanen from the cutoff. The action erupted soon after as Raimo Ahola three-bet jammed from the big blind.

Avela quickly called before Kesanen went into the tank and called as well.  

Raimo Ahola:
Max Avela:
Jan-Mikael Kesanen:

Ahola screamed in excitement as his cards were live against two pocket pairs and appeared equally thrilled about connecting with the 
flop.

The  turn improved him further to an unnecessary two-pair. The  river bricked for both Kesanen and Avela for Ahola to win a massive pot.

The turn was which meant Sahiti was drawing dead, the couldn't change that and Sahiti was eliminated from the tournament.

Chips went flying between Ken Okada and Ori Hasson preflop as Okada put all of his 17,000 chips in, followed by a call from Hasson.

Ken Okada:
Ori Hasson :

Okada was behind and needed to hit a ten to survive on his second bullet. The dealer revealed the flop and he indeed banged a set on the flop.

The river was on which Aaltonen continued for 14,300 and Jouhkimainen snap-called.

Joni Jouhkimainen:
